New Pastries in the Shop: A Poem

Amaretto biscotti, chocolate chip biscotti,

Coffee nut

Blueberry

Scones,

Bigger than ever before.

No-fat berry muffins, trenchant and luminous,

Cranberry nut

Pecan coffee praline.

Then, suddenly,

chocolate chip cookies,

oatmeal cookies,

mocha chip cookies.

Amaretto biscotti,

Chocolate chip biscotti.

Lemon

Lavender

Mini

Cookies

25cents each.

They wait together

With upturned eyes

Wanting to be chosen

And dipped in coffee.
