The choices made in a coffee shop are endless:
You can choose between a 'skinny' latte or -
A mug - wide at the hip and deep like an ocean.
You can sit your chosen chalice on the grain
Of an ancient table or a stained saucer.
You can lean on a window as geometric light
Skims over your broken face or hide in a corner.
Dissolve delicate foam hearts or skin them.
But there is only one decision not yours to make...
The strength of the expresso.
