Have you ever held a cup
A warm, warm coffee-like cup
Sat among few
Sat among many
Some sat alone.
On top of my cup,
My Starbucks cup,
There is a stick.
A green pictorial stick.
A great multi-purposing stick….
It keeps my hot beverage from escaping the hole
And it works to stir should I need it to do so.
It also amuses, as it is not just any green stick…
For atop the stick,
for a better thumb grip
there is a picture…
But what could it be,
Winded textured steam
Or maybe something more
More symbolic, more connective.
More siren.
More siren to serve
with a coffee in hand,
to bring on to you
on solid dry land.
