Barista Flow
Damn I need a vice
it’s gotta be more to life
than pouring espresso shots
over ice.
Busting my ass on bar,
while the strangers just stare,
Oat milk here, a little caramel drizzle there.
Fancy coffees for fancy prices.
Short,
Tall,
Grande,
Venti,
It’s nice to have that privilege with a side
of Fendi.
Designer bags, designer things
I’m tired of slanging coffees,
I want the finer things.
I’m just a barista that does poetry…
if I wasn’t handing you your coffee,
you wouldn’t notice me..

Is there anybody more important than a member of the working class that supports the working class with critical caffeine?

I suppose you have a point there, lol. All humor of course, I do enjoy my job. 😁

My grandfarther was a bartender for years. He told me about the time a bottle exploded in his hand because his hand was hot and the bottle cold. Go figure. I'll bet you're a clessy Barista. :)

I love the self portrait that comes out in this poem. Keep up the good work in both departments, noting Midnight Sonneteer's comment.
In the John Buchan spy novel The Thirty Nine Steps one of the characters Richard Hannay meets while on the run is called in the relevant chapter's title The Literary Innkeeper - as my English teacher described him, a publican who loves books.
It has inspired a poem titled The Coffee Bar which I will post in DUP.

I dig this one. Work can be a drag for sure. Keep slanging that caffeine!
