I sit and stare
Watch the coffee brew
As the last customers head out
The door closes
And I am alone
Just me and that comforting smell
My favorite song comes on
I slip off my shoes
Head for the lobby
And begin to spin
I twirl and rotate
Until I become dizzy
And collapse to the ground
As my senses tingle
A loud beep disturbes my daydream
Time for the fresh coffee
Time to work
