The Essence of Coffee

I can’t say, but do know

Why they talk of coffee

like when John,  reminded of Joan

by a stranger’s scented hair

Smiling, hypnotized and out of touch with the class in session

Later that evening they call it off

It’s sad, it’s interesting

She has his letters, lost in the library

This seed, a story, fitting genres

Dragged in theaters

Neither the spoil of hunger

Nor the nemesis of thirst

It is loved, ignored and scorned

Like an enigma, in the air

 

Everyone has their scripts

I can say, but do not know

The essence of coffee
