second nature

Light
Clustered
Caught and released
In turning signals of passing cars
And tops of slowly dancing trees
Dreaming, scheming
Elsewhere in time and space
Until a familiar code snaps me back
And unlocks a mindless sequence

"Tall decaf soy latte"

Open
Grab
Steam
Pound
Wipe
Grind
Tamp
Spin
Pull
Twist
Tap
Swivel
Pour
Deliver
"Next!"
