Free Market Blend
By Toni Partington
Somewhere south
in groves of beans
the flavor is born
everywhere here
in cups of paper
the flavor is tasted
it reaches your nose
travels right to
the brain
roasted beans so rich
they can connect
olfactory to saliva
without touching the lips
this is glory
the mother lode
the sweet spot
the perfect pose
the long kiss
the found penny, head’s up
the best seat in the house
this is your favorite song
the shoes on sale
the winning ticket
the snow day
the smell of lilacs
the dog’s greeting
the unexpected hug
this is the first sip
the half and half
the sugar
the cinnamon
This is morning.
