The Delusion of Coffee (Not Haiku)

Those first moments, I am filled

with heady possibility.

Lists of tasks & adventures-- 

cleaning bouts 

beach trips

long walks

reorganizing cabinets, closets, & drawers

dance classes

laundry!


But as time drips by, realization dawns

that these dreams are just that.

I am left with this same old body, 

which has never quite worked,

& ambitions larger

than a cup of coffee allow.
