I have a folding chair
On the patio of my apartment
Next to some plastic plants
That I do not have to water
It is on the third floor
I like to get up early
And brew some coffee
That is stronger than my ambition
Half a teaspoon will do
I take a book and go out on the porch
And drown myself in the sunshine
Occasionally
I will look up from my reading
At the busy road that passes by my world
I see all the people
Who are being beaten to death by the rapids
The ones rushing over the falls
While I stand on the banks and watch
I smile in bemusement
Now excuse me while I rush
Into the kitchen
For another cup of coffee
What did you think

welcome to all poetry
I like the tying up of the coffee, but I especially love the small details that make this stand out unique...good write you have here
