Coffee * 10/1/12

Coffee, not knowing

its own regenerative way

any more as a bean,

lives, the fashion statement,

the celebrity life

of a temptress

with complimentary

sorted accompaniments.

Coffee constantly depends

on the attentional embrace

of others in need,

and yet yields to their touch

with varied pleasing tastes

of flavored stirring liquidity, 

while subtlety revealing

its own invigorating

life history as rousing story,

tastefully in passing to all

who will sip appreciatively

and interpretively listen . . .

Coffee, so stimulating

and cause worthy . . .
