(Di)satisfaction is
chocolatey coffee cream and
blackberry burst. Serene,
sharp-sweet surge of savory nectar
smoothly gliding over every taste bud.
Meanwhile my wallet scoffs
inside the pocket of its ignorance.
It doesn’t know a thing about
blackberries or savory nectar,
the cost of time well spent.
It delights in far more frugal fare,
and bribes my brain to bring its charge against me.
I ignore the cold rebuke
and wrap myself with warmth.
The blanket’s cozy comfort and
the coffee’s soothing scents weigh
like a lullaby on my eyes.
Resting my head against the back
of my soft reclining chair,
I set the cupped contentment on
the tardy utility bill,
and close my eyes to sleep.
