Analysis of Coffee Conversations
our early morning coffee conversations
evoke wistfulness of your watercolor memories
so much so
that I sometimes desire to ink out the dark contours of my recollections
in order to share in yours
through a welcome act of self-deception
I am
through you
harvesting vegetables from my mother’s garden
gigging frogs with my brother after midnight
hiking steep mountains to sleep in bear cages
snorkeling in Kingston through reefs of deep purple
teaching English to curious adults in Hiroshima
what can you possibly glean
from my striking exhibitions of unlikeness?
what is there in me to share
to take you to like places?
