Coffee Soliloquy

 COFFEE SOLILOQUY




To cafe-au-lait
Or to cafe latte?
To Cafe Colombiano
Or to cafe Americano?
That is the question.

Is it better to stay
Or down a frappe?
A hot mug to go
Or iced cappuccino?
Just plain consummation.

Do you have a Black Tie
Or prefer a Red Eye?
Do you like a Green Eye
Or just a Flat White?
The natural color of resolution

Would you pick the Irish
Rather than the English?
Hot tropical Jamaican
or vodka laced Russian?
From discovered countries or travellers choices.

Have extra cream on top
Or just plain decaf?
Unsugared milk coffee
Or sweet black coffee?
Just to ward the sleep, what dreams may come

Endless choices
coffee courses
Why would you macchiato
If there is an Affogato?
Coffee enterprises of great pith and moment


Fervent coffee wish:
To wake up, to not sleep;
And the mind becomes all awry
Empty cup in all its glory.
To be awake, perchance to daydream-
Ay, there's the rub.
