cardinal bathing
under the trickle of the
coffee shop's downspout

(beverage of the gods)

beverage of the gods

creamy, earthy latte

nature's royalty

The Mayan Mocha

starts out sweet
then explodes in your mouth,
like Pop Rocks.

Never Coy About My Joy

I've got
another cup
of goodness,
another cup
of joy:
hot java
with steamed
milk. Boy,
oh, boy!
Add a
little sugar
or a
little soy.
Stir it
up so
carefully. It's
better than
a toy.
