Coffee Cup

Coffee Cup

the woman

both arms swinging

must have not felt

good today

but the guy

without his left

was swinging his right

still in the ring

and the old man

on the bench

must have given in

to his couch

and the girl at the register

hasn’t changed

“patience,” say to myself

get in the car

windows down

song rolled up

wind in my hair

home in 10

then back again
