5 Points Starbucks
while Andy drawls, reminding me
how easily he thinks I’m mesmerized
while alternating between
slow drags from his cigarette
& casual sips from his latte
I’m distracted by a night moth
circling a streetlamp : translucent wings
racing electron trails around a bulb of light,
white-hot, clouded in
city dust filaments
like smoke stirring the air
or like a latte dashed with pumpkin spice
on a sputtering summer-autumn night
