Poems
Jan 2011
What I saw through the window of the coffee shop on the corner in Omaha NE.
Around the corner,
a blast of blue
comes screaming
just outside the coffee house.
A small boy,
no more than five,
is a beaming
chocolate goatee
from the local ice-cream parlor.
A woman chases him
with the exasperated look
of a mother on a date
with her son
.
Her eyes still red
from her four hours
of sleep,
but her smile:
as big as her sonβs.
She catches him as he stops
at the smell
of fresh chocolate chip cookies
emanating from the coffee house.
Her motion is quick
and calculated
as she turns him around,
zips his jacket,
& kisses his forehead.
She takes his hand
and they are off.
I assume they live happily
ever after.
