Salford 12th April 2018
From time to time,
Realities of bringing a coffee to life come into view
Out of nowhere, people demanded posh coffee
The buzzwords of the day “latte” or “Cappucino”
Hell on earth for the poor overworked cafetiere
For days on end
Round-about temp – amassing to “what on earth” – as
Out of its innards came water and milk
The demand was over the top, as the coffee
House bursted out at the seams
Filling up the orders as they cued up – down the
Road, tasting the latest thing the store owners could provide
Occassionally, it would get a break – as a barista
Took a moment, to clean him up
Heaven
Finally, the day was over
Reality –
out of the emptiness of the store
there was a moment of calm – peace till the morning
he’d appreciate the silence
The Inkwell
