Peppers and Coffee

Cafe inspuration

The flex of the almost
Egyptian sounding muscle...
Squatting where the porcelain edge
Is so narrow,
The seat discarded just weeks after the opening,
First world franchise
In a third world country.
Problem ,
But a straight shot.
Espresso !

Author's Note

No spurs on this cowboy.... just draw a line with your boot, put your spread heals on it and squat. (First drop drawers and remove spurs, I have researched this)

S**t, one could probably read into these words forever
& arrive at a multitude of interpretations. Whatever...

Having read & re-read them over & over I find myself liking
these words of yours more & more.

Toilet humour can be good for you. 'Some come here to sit and think''...
Aah espresso, delightful stuff

[Green]

Hmmm. Your stuff makes me think and that's why I enjoy reading it so much. And this poem like your others did just that.
The idea of a coffee shop in a third world country was sort of intriguing. They sell the same sort of stuff as here but in a totally different atmosphere. I guess some things are still the same no matter where you go.

a cup of coffee
hot
pure
with lots of caffeine
sipping
waiting for
the magic within
do take hold

I start the day

I"ll take my coffee experience over yours any day!

[lee von cleef]

Yours is much better! no third world .

okay -- either my brain goes where it ain't s'pose to or this is a little ditty bout what happens subsequent to chewing on jalapeno seeds ...... yikes! reminds me of restrooms in france [they're co-ed don't cha know]

[lee von cleef]

Bad I know, but poems even ones that don't rhyme have layers,third world countries have a lot going for them ,but not all of our "First" world sensibilities work here or there.

Getting products cheap to make a bigger profit is the way of the American corporations. That is why we lose so many jobs to overseas.

[Tina Kline]

A very enjoyable poem. Straight coffee is best without all those add ons for me!

[Cherrie]

very fun poem I like my coffee hot fresh with no fluff

[lee von cleef]

This poem is and is not really about coffee,I will try to clear it up with some pointers.

[Cherrie]

I may have let the ending over shadowed this poem, but I can picture ...where the porcelain edge Is so narrow,... I do like this one, even thu I had to circle the block to find a parking spot :)

[lee von cleef]

I like everyone's pictures, a porcelain "Demitasse" .Dreams and poems and southern biscuits like me are flaky.

Some drink for the pleasure, others out of necessity. A straight shot. Don't tinker with my life. Well played. Well said.

[Sheila Kline]

Yep, in some of the other countries, it is only the real brew that will do!! Try to introduce the iced drinks, the lattes, etc, etc, and they just won't fly! That place had little chance of survival before it even opened!
Eye opening.....give me a real cup of coffee....kind of writing!

[stephen dillon]

really great and i cannot even tell you why i just simply love the words
