Coffee and a book,
Such a simple combination,
The one I drink to stave off
The morning’s sedation,
The other I read to maintain
Mental stimulation,
And all the while surrounded
By a societal vibration
Sitting in a hub
Of pastries and percolation.
It never would have crossed my mind
To conceive of this conjugation
Had they not installed a shelf
Full of paperback creation,
And while I was never one for coffee,
It was merely an obligation,
The adding of literature to my latte
Has given me a caffeine fixation.
