The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

For Without Cream

Coffee in the morning rush
Walking to stay busy like the rest
Taking my sips of freedom

Sun is just high to see light
Pavement not yet warmed up
Traffic buzzing slow in attack

Yet something about this is off
Routines were never a favorite
Mondays remind me of the color blue

Office chatter and the days task at hand
Papers rustled and recycled
I feel fatigued at eight o'clock

For without the cream of life
Things are always the same
Separate but equal to nothing

Even the children are lost for passion
Flowers handle their fame
Night arrives on schedule
