R I T U A L
I set up my little ritual
And allow myself some order
Amidst any kind
Of chaos.
Jungles, no-name cities
Stopover concourses, domestic everydays,
Break-ups, graduations.
Anything. Nothing.
As the milk pours just so
And the foam balances
Precise & precarious
The first heated bite
Bitter & rich
Reminding me, entreating me.
Stop that
Hustle and enjoy.
This day will vanish
Like 14500 of its
Predecessors.
One alarm clock after
Another commute
An adventure
A day in or out.
But the coffee reminds,
Soothes & is solace
The magic amidst the mundane
Present and steadfast
Not a deadline
Or drama
In sight.
Just me, just my morning
Coffee.
