Coffee, ten-ish

My elder brother, making an arrangement for coffee...

"Coffee, 10-ish"...

Message received from N. Morrison today,

Replied with requotes - agreeing by-way;  

Thursday  suggested coffee appointment, 

I was certainly free, 10ish...agreement! 

Confirmation/settlement: thus concluded,

Cakes & coffees are  intentionally ceded;

To be combined with wisdom (if I'm silent),

Afterwards' reflections: contently it went?

Incidentally, replacement key - arrange;

How I lost? So confusing...just so strange!

N.M. protests, but ~  loser: replaces key,

Unsettling of course; but...as 't  may be!
