Coffee Break

Observations on an empty coffee cup.
Office reality

 


A clicking glass cup


A last bitter smack
Brown dried-up cold traces
Evaporating smile of an empty lake


Milky-Mild-Mellow no sugar
From under the cup, another click


Chit-chat beyond my paper cubicle


No horny sugar fly today!


Blood is pumping fast


Where is the glass-cup pick-up lady?
Time to work again. Stop dreaming


Oh, here she is.


My fingers hit the board
Good timing for an angry email?



Yes, the coffee break is over


 


(c) 2004 by Franz L Kessler

If a cup of coffee brings you to writing such a great poem, what will a glass of alcohol do?
Liked this one.

As clipped in delivery and potent in meaning as a Ray Chandler
detective novel.
This is a really 'snappy' piece, Franz. Enjoyed it much!

This is such a vivid insight into a piece of your working day. I really enjoyed it. Something that stands out for me is the way you bring sounds in. They are sharp and short - almost like your coffee break ;-)

The end of an all too short coffee break is always a wonderful moment for an angry e-mail - especially if it's addressed to management!

"Coffee Break"... Unique creation of mystery, pun and sage poetic expressions, delivering a wise message through its esoteric lines.

Never rest Your pen, Poet!
