Cappuccino Man

He levers a boiling waterfall into a Styrofoam land

of harmonious green leaves.

Twists in his cinnamon bun hair bob along

the glassed work station

chocolate sprinkles pass by the glass rim, his hair bobs,

it waves as he makes caffeinated elixirs.

He asks everyone, "Where from?" -

I need to keep people awake;

those who wait and those who pass

through the gate.

I think I'd like to cross over.
