finally a poem....

Sidewalk Café

Eggshell fractures, the unsullied yolk slips
into the frying pan.

I don’t hate you
on Saturday morning,

a mug of coffee between my palms,
I drink it without sugar.

A transient pokes through a trashcan, unblinking
finds a paper cup, shakes & drops it, empty, in the gutter.
