When the lunch crowd comes,
I leave
preferring the breakfast crowd:
the smell of coffee and burnt sugar
to the smell of grill
and the sound of hurry. . .
the breakfast crowd crinkles
their newspapers
the old men smile
over the steam of their coffee.

We could let this moment storm over,
or we could ride its eye
until it makes landfall.
