Early
too early
for last night’s night owls
you start
coffee
hot and… no not black, not this morning
you enjoy the decadence
of cream
real cream
and sugar
Eggs
and ham
shrimp?  Why yes, Don’t mind if I do
and blintzes
and pasta
pasta?
YES
oh, the delight
simmer gently
in silence
of a lonely diner
morning starts late
but it can’t come too soon
