Coffee Shop


Savor the invasive scent,
Barge through the broken banter.
Retreat from the busied cement,
Surrender to the endless chatter.
Take a sip of jumbled jitter,
Drift into composed excitement.
Heart and tongue, one sweet one bitter,
Smell of herbs in serene confinement.
Sip, sip, sip, your cup now empty,
Awaken your senses from bottom to top.
Out the door with lively feet you hurry,
Savor the scent of the coffee shop.
