Sitting alone
With many around
Smiles and sound
Warm friendly smiles
Away from home,
Many miles.
No one near,
My coffee gives cheer,
A smile, a sun smile
Sun’s warmth is here.
Alone with many
Walking, talking, sitting, looking,
Ignoring, smiling,
Many.
A foamy brown coffee
Soothing, mild, warm, foamy,
Brown swirled comfort
My companion,
Smiles inside me:
A latte in the city.
