Coffee

Coffee

drips slow in pot

Coffee

rich and brown

Coffee

fragrant on tongue

Coffee

from yesterday beeps in microwave

Coffee

on cold morning’s in Mom’s kitchen

Coffee

at Grandpa’s table with sorghum on crackers

Coffee

spills on your shirt rushing to work

Coffee

stains on book covers

Coffee

late night study buzz

Coffee

the rattle of backgammon and dice

Coffee

in the donut shop after back seat rendezvous

Coffee

anytime, anywhere

elixir of gods.
