Felony

Standing commissioned, 
A coffee and a croissant, 
Hot and black, or light and sweet.
Insistent, startled and
Hands in pocket:
Smelling like crack smoldering in a stem. 
Eyes dancing like nervous grapes,
Dressed head to toe 
In high yella Virginia zoot suit,
The, aging to be honest, 
Resistant to genuine disease,
Anyman, anytime, USA.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
