Coffee From A Canteen (Fair Trade)

Many poets carry

a small notebook & a pen

with them at all times,

so they can quickly photograph

the world in inked imagery

as they wait in roadside cafés

for their organic soy lattes.

I hate to write in front of people.

I prefer to be alone in the woods,

writing lines before anyone else

is awake, when the percolated coffee

is not yet ready.
