Here's a little poem you're bound to love:
In Praise of Joe I love you hot I love you iced and in a pinch I will even consume you tepid. Dark brown as wet bark of an apple tree, dark as the waters flowing out of a spooky swamp rich with tannin and smelling of thick life— but you have your own scent that even rising as steam kicks my brain into gear. I drink you rancid out of vending machines, I drink you at coffee bars for $6 a hit, I drink you dribbling down my chin from a thermos in cars, in stadiums, on the moonwashed beach. Mornings you go off in my mouth like an electric siren, radiating to my fingertips and toes. You rattle my spine and buzz in my brain. Whether latte, cappuccino, black or Greek you keep me cooking, you keep me on line. Without you, I would never get out of bed but spend my life pressing the snooze button. I would creep through wan days in the form of a large shiny slug. You waken in me the gift of speech when I am dumb as a rock buried in damp earth. It is you who make me human every dawn. All my books are written with your ink. "In Praise of Joe" by Marge Piercy from The Crooked Inheritance. see, everybody loves 'joe'........  |
