Poet in the Coffee Shop


new brew
roasting, flowing 
aroma rolling
through
atmosphere, 

machines
grinding, growling 
out fresh
caffeine

and you,
awash in lilting 
ballads consuming
lovers
across the room.

Just keep your eyes down 
on your honeyed-
words,

frenzied bees
that buzz, 

and to song
burst.
