Henry sips his latte;
the café is full; a babble
of voices surround him.
The young barista is beautiful,
her large eyes gaze at him,
her lips become flowers
as she speaks.
The other barista is older
and not so beautiful; her words
are half Italian and sound
romantic no matter
what she says.
Henry will order another latte
just to hear her speak again.
The beautiful barista is busy;
the crowd buzz like bees.
