After Ordering “Tall Iced Coffee with Soy Milk”

As when the night of moons and stars
     Drove me to toil and strife,
Hunger and thirst and hopelessness
     Brought me Starbucks tonight.

The beans’ roast gives the strong, bold scent
     Of baristas named Bernice––
The beans, and the cold, white soy milk,
     And the counter splashed with grease.

Who asks of me my order now?
     It would be more delight
To have asked for a croissant or scone
     Than sip this drink tonight.
