Tomorrow it will be
Friday again, so we know
the decision is looming, one we
have grown used to, one that we
agonize over although in any scheme
of things it is trivial at best.
But here we are trying to decide
which of two coffee shops we
should visit tomorrow morning,
a bagel and cortado at either,
one close, nice and pedestrian
but with the better coffee and
baristas who know us and our order
and begin it as they see us get out
of our car in the plaza parking lot,
the other more distant and funkier.
And then there is the option
of staying home, bread she baked
and cortados. with freshly ground
home roasted beans of a quality
no coffee shop in this state
would ever offer, Kona peaberry,
We made the wise decision, the one
that no one could question, and
put the decision off until the morning.
