Morning and the Cool

Morning and the cool
has already rubbed away
like knees in little boy jeans

I know
in the still tilting shadows
before the coffee or the customers
that today will be another game of space
between the flies and the heat

As the day inflates
I find myself swallowing secrets
the flavor of paper
dying on my tongue
If I'm awake, it's a safe bet I'm worried.

thats so beautiful. It's calm and accepting. Appreciative, but informative. Somewhat clueing me into the life you live (coffee) and the area around you (space). It most definitely puts this perspective together which you appear to be the source of. Rolodex is the word I'm looking for, the customers are lined up like names in a rolodex, and you watch them present themselves, and then fall back in line, to come tomorrow, to add and deprive significance from your day equally at the same time. Good job.
