If you are what you eat, then:
I am a towering temple to decadence, all European coffees and pastries with eggs, meats and cheeses.
The ancient woman sitting next to me is an icy little igloo surrounded by a moat of half and half, her coffee having run dry before I arrived.
The pretty girl at the counter is a busy country inn, taking and providing bites of fruit and potatoes without the time to really enjoy doing either.
And the man that made the shirt I’m wearing is a little statue of rice and vegetables with a mortar of coconut milk. And he is rebuilding himself right now, five thousand miles away.
