Deli Coffee - New York City
The unmistakable scent of Deli Coffee
Fills the bus
You know it’s coffee
And you know it’s gonna be weak
Still, it’s morning
Late to work
The person in back of you has it
And you wish you had some
$1.00 for regular, $1.25 for flavored
It’s gonna get your eyes open
Maybe not like that hipster crap for $4.00
But Deli Coffee is still the value caffeine King

Any coffee in the morning will do just as long as it keeps you awake. A good write and definitely speaking the truth.
