Mysterious Messages

Messages stuffed in a coffee-shop wall...
Would you sip your latte without peeking? 
Or would you indulge in 
anonymous note-reading?


So many fold styles and paper types--
 what seem to be long messages next to 
short, single-fold memos. 


Why leave a note stuffed in the 
wall of a busy coffee shop? 
Is it like a prayer or a plea for help?
Which one is that final break-up note, 
a long-awaited proposal, 
 or the last clue in a treasure hunt?

I didn't read a single one, though the 
urge was so strong. 
Maybe next time, I'll sneak a peek ...

(Message wall at Carabello Coffee, Newport, Kentucky)
