Break

large black coffee

sodden with salty tears 

and too much tap water. 

an everything bagel

that sheds onto my skirt-

starched blue and white stripes,

your favorite-

with cream cheese 

that usually ends up getting

smeared off and enjoyed 

prematurely;

and heartache

in the morning. 

now i know why

they call breakfast

'breakfast'

because you broke my heart so fast

with that colloquial meet-

it was at a cafe

it was sunny and bright

you were a sight

I was sitting

rewriting the political cartoon in my head

not realizing what had been said

and then you were gone

and I realized why ache rhymed with break,

and that my black coffee wasn't so bitter.
