My Life in Coffee Cups
Chrissy’s —white with green lettering, coffee shop In Maine, to celebrate my birthday. Casablanca—cream with black lettering, from a boutique hotel in NYC. Starbuck’s mug from my daughter, white on white, the leaf’s vein in bas-relief. Shiny red with white letters, gratis for a poetry reading, Baltimore, Enoch Pratt Free Library. Blue with big clouds, green hills, and lots of raindrops— an artist’s creation.
