The One Where Coffee and Cookie Crumbs are Metaphors

October 11, 2011 - No Comments (be the first!) by Mishi - Me, Myself, and I

in one hand
a coffee cup
in the other
a chocolate cookie
deliberately
to be dunked
dreaming
instantly
about
the silky texture
how lusciously soft
my heated elixir
would transform
this crisp cookie
oh
too soon
SPLOOSH
fingers foiled
the cookie
quickly sank
to the bottom of
my favorite mug
the one with the
extra wide handle
for comfort grip
crying out
it did no good
for the cookie
already sunk
to the bottom
waiting to be
fished out by spoon
with a final reward
creamy chocolate crumbs
