clouds in my coffee

*

morning traffic is crazy as usual.

leaving the rosy pink in her rearview

she drives into the awakening blue.

she flips through the radio stations

as she pulls into the parking lot.

*

robotic, she goes through the motions

of tackling another day,

just trying to make a difference.

*

thoughtlessly stirring her coffee,

she carries on amid the chaos,

just trying to remain unseen.

*

frantic to stay afloat,

she stares into her coffee cup,

and just for a second,

she swears she can see clouds.

Clouds in My Coffee

Hard Bonus: Incorporate a lyric by Moby — “Into the blue” and “frantic to stay afloat”

Easy Bonus: Include carbohydrates — is coffee carb if you use enough creamer…? 🙂
