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.
