And I Sipped the Coffee and It Was Good
and I sipped the coffee and it was good, so good;
then, a dancing troupe came by, young ladies from
Dubai; and they lined the curb,
right there in the street, and blinded me with their
mouths and intuition; and when they stopped and
made to move away, I said,
“why not stay a while, it could be fun?”
And the smooth-thighed, black-eyed leader jibed,
“no, best not, there are other men we wish to
tease, and anyway, poets don’t have money,”
and they left me with my coffee; and it was good,
so good.
