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.
