astir

[cogs]

early cup of coffee
hot and addictive
fuels temporary high aspirations,
inexperienced waiter
churns copious cream,
mingled mediocrity;
stained and dazed

[Dark Muse]

Though I am one of the few people who does not like or drink coffee I really liked how you captured it here.

I worked in a breakfast restaurant for over 2 years and may I say, my friend, you have perfectly captured what many have fruitlessly attempted so many times before. There is something so alluring about this poem. Thank you & nice work!
