STEAMER

CHAI

they DRIP

smooth

HOT

deceptive

onto my tongue

across my palette

down my gullet

aching for it

they suffuse

infuse my

veins

Who Am I

to resist the

gut GRINDING urge

the deep planted DESIRE

the siren sex and call

beckoning from

COLUMBIA

NICARAGUA

VENEZIA

MUKILTEO ?!

Like a very good

American

I line up

and put my

punch card

down

get my steaming

cup of fix

and leave

a tip

some TALK

a SMILE

on the counter

stay awhile

invites the barrista

there's a great water view

and comfortable chairs. . .
