coffee shop patio
by Stanley M Noah


a relaxing red dress
accompanied by a red
purse, orange soda,
green straw, thirsty lips,
a round green table top
with four visiting chairs,
a tall elm in a breeze,
dropping leaves like pennies,
a curly, curious terrier named
snappy sniffing about, while
books and laptops are being read,
and a few light conversations formed
into a moment in paradise
