GOING ALL OUT – AMERICAN STYLE – AT AMANTE FOR COFFEE ON A FRIDAY
(BEFORE NOON SO AS NOT TO OFFEND THE ITALIANS)

I’LL HAVE A day where
  my existence is 
  confirmed and 
  recorded 
  by photos,
  poems,
  postings,
  human interactions,
  light on 
  the social media
  retina, light in the
  barista’s eye, try
  something new,
  never before, 
  never again…

CAPP(UCCINO) off hanging the washed sheets on the line in a fall breeze
LATTE browned and yellowed aspen leaves crunching underfoot
MACCHIATO streaked skies provide the drying zephyrs, left hanging
MOCHA from moist tropic splendor and laborers’ sweat
AMERICAN-O say can you see dawn’s early light and phone’s flash

WITH WHIPPED CREAM?

OF COURSE…

AND, A GREEN BEAN

Amante Coffee in NoBo
Floating on the high 
of an American Lifestyle –
freedom and liberty,
consumption and convenience.
Spine phrase acrostic exercise.
