Morning Joe (poem)

Black, brown, strong, smooth, silky.

Drip it. Sip it. Cup it. Mug it. Taste it. Face it.

A pungent toasty aroma:

Invigorating, uplifting, eye-opening and stimulating.

Consume the coffee,

Stain your teeth,

dip biscotti,

turn a leaf.

Wake up. Smell the brew.

Get up. Taste it too.

Drink up. Feel it through.

Wake up! This cup’s for you.
