COFFEE
The feeling of arriving in a town
where you have never before been
and getting a coffee.
Three bucks buys you a smile,
some human contact
and a ten minute dispensation from care –
not to mention this cup of stimulant
with its earthy fragrance.
An affair with the waitress
is fun to imagine –
something which could
happen,
but never will.
Soon you are pretending
that it’s over, and you feel wistful.
As you play with the froth and gaze idly
at whatever is there to be seen
in this town, in brilliant sunshine or in pensive rain,
something is beginning
and it feels as though your whole life is in front of you.
