Rosemary and chives
grow in a pot
by the window
coffee is brewing
beside the sink
a bowl of apples and bananas
spill to the floor,
as tangled limbs slide
across the table.
coffee is brewing
a bowl of apples and bananas
across the table.

¥ A good slide into home base can clear the table for a new agenda ¥
When doing arithmetic, they say you can't mix apples and oranges(how much is one apple plus one orange), but apples and bananas can mix as nutrition, for people need their sugar and potassium after clearing the table,especially if one is apple shaped and the other... Although I suppose chives has some good cheer for the meal afterwards. The description sets the scene well. Spicy things about to happen. The aroma of something brewing and one must always get up and smell the coffee. Life is not just a bowl of cherries. A tasty poem.

the apples and bananas make a mismatch of body parts

Hey, this one is clever and hot!
I agree with everyone that sex on the kitchen table is one of the best places to get it on.
i like the economy of words and the implication that brought a searing picture to my mind.
Good stuff!

at brunch thingy peoples has cold eggs, sometimes fruit & stuff. sorta in the middle of breakfast and lunch is brunch, so's I reckon u could have a peanut butter sandmich. I think coffees good all the time, but some peoples like tea, and fruity drinks. I alla time thinks at the brunch thingy u should have like a ballet of stuff, mebbe some of them tiny sandmiches and lettuce & stuff. also, I like havin the brunch outside, not in stuffy old kitchen where all kinds of things could go wrong in the preparation, brunches is better in de summertime, course it could rain and then u would hafta have it in the kitchen if there's room and all, and nothing much is goin on. I think alla time bout brunch being for a lotta peoples, but I spose that if u sleep too long it'd be ok for just two people to have the brunch but then you wouldn't have to make all dem tiny sandmiches and stuff, and coffee would be ok. Sometimes I guess people need to have them brunches for something different, cause breakfast is just about alla time the same, and people sometimes don't each lunch at all, preferring instead a quick snack in the afternoon. you don't even need a table for that cause you can just sorta lean up against the counter, and two people works just fine for that cause you don't have time for all that conversation stuff.
