Mocha and Mystery
Coffee shop ambience
some brew bubbling, frothing,
some eye contact now,
that gorgeous woman
dunking biscotti,
then smiling,
white teeth,
shy smile but
with those eyes
and mocha-streaked hair,
much more sweetness,
and standing in line became
an invitation for him,
his steamy mocha
placed noiselessly
on the table-top
while she moved her book,
a mystery, a piece of whimsy,
who? he asked,
she smiled again,
Stephanie Plum.
Oh boy, he laughed.

Aw, who needs the book - I've got an imagination.
