I would like to go to a cafe. Not any particular one. I’d like to just be visiting a neighborhood and find a cafe on yelp. I’d like to ask about their WiFi and have someone point out the obvious sign that I missed. I’d like to be delighted by a nice barista and some foam art.

I’d like to meet up with some friends to watch a basketball game at a bar. I’d like to order nachos. I’d like to yell at the TV. At commercials I’d like to ask my friends gossipy questions. I’d like to order a second round of nachos. I’d like to ride my bike home afterward.

I’d like to go to a street festival. I’d like to stroll around not intending to buy anything but maybe buying something. I’d like to see a decent band playing and little kids dancing wildly. I’d like to sit on the curb and eat some corn. I’d like to run into someone unexpectedly.

I& #39;d like to go to the library. I& #39;d like to use the computer terminal with an ancient operating system to look up a book. I& #39;d like to write down the call number with a stubby golf pencil on scrap of paper. I& #39;d like to touch the plastic laminate covers as I look for what I want.
