Watching Strangers

I was eating a slice
in my PJs when I saw
him through the apartment
window I was gawking
out of. It was barely 5pm
and the man, young 
like me, was walking with
a brown paper clothed bottle
that seemed to weigh him,
down to his feet. I couldn't
help but to worry.

Coffee

The men I sleep
with make darn
good coffee. I find
the delicious bitterness
a change from 
the deceiving sweetness
I taste in the black 
mud served 
at the place I called
home with people
I call family.
