T.O.A.M.



The sunrise is longer in the city
Pink and yellow light traveling up tall buildings
It is somehow still dawn downtown

Smoothie for five times the cost of its ingredients
A day of work for a month of breakfast
Sounds fine until you think about it

A good seat on transit makes all the difference
Your own space to think and read and watch
Everyone is quiet this early

Servers in the coffee shop are way too happy
They will hate you by lunch time
But I have mine in a bag
Trying to compensate for the smoothie

Makes me feel like I am there, and I didn't have to get up early to get that feeling - bonus.
