Espresso.
We have a go at life
Like deers in the headlight.
All we often have left
is desperate hope
and damning belief.

Espresso.
It's so scary to feel like
everyone's watching,
waiting for the punchline or
the funny, clumsy fall you're going to suffer.
You get to feel like a baby
In a porcelain shop,
too young not to ruin
anything.
But then, the opposite is just as bad.
Not being watched.
We all know you have to keep your eyes on the baby.
All.
The.
Time.

Latte.
Watching people go by.
Some are like sparks in the air,
a beauty you never got the chance
to fully understand.
Others are prison guardians
and how you feel about them
depends on what side of the cell door you're on.
Others, more,
feel like a chance you never took,
the Hello you never uttered.
All of them are possibilities
reminders of possible futures
and of the many, many doors
you could have had the keys to.
Drop me a line. Will get back to you after I've had my coffee.
