STARBUCKS

James Kerns

There's a new Starbucks in my neighborhood

Spanking fresh, green and white, with ergonomic steel chairs

Spanking fresh, green and white, with ergonomic steel chairs

There's a new Starbucks in my neighborhood

But I haven't figured out what to do with the last one yet,

And I'm one double-skim-latted motherfucker.

But there are plenty of glass windows to watch the world through

And I imagine a day when I'll be able to see my next Starbucks down the road

From my frothy seat while I'm flipping through the Style section.

Because thats the way we like it here on our momentarily caffeine perches.

We need to squeeze the last bad idea until it bursts

And spreads its curse all over the landscape,

One long green tale on monotomy with monogrammed sides

And special lids to fit our limited purpose.

There's a new Star-buckson my street

And I'm just figuring out what the words mean.
