Door Swings
Caffeine like nicotine
Aroma rich
Hiss and murmur of machine
My favorite tune
Warm smile-nice greetings
Hands grip purchase
Contentment from taste buds
To the ear buds that sing
Seat carefully chosen
I survey the humanity
Imagine their story
Wonder what they view as mine?
Harmony and authenticity-
Words so true from another-they overwhelm
To my pen I succumb
Little word play here
Big gulp of espresso there
Slow savor the taste
Quick detail my thoughts
Tap of the foot
Distant stare to process
Flip the page to engage
Check the clock
Different faces now sit around
Conversations at every table
Pack up
Clank of the mugs
Door swings
Deep breathe of clean air
Steps keep the time
Song stuck on repeat in mind
Like an addiction
No surgeon general warning here
Just a siren's song calling to sip
Good evening-till next time.
