Coffee Milk
is not a fifty-fifty blend.
Something you knit
like twiggy wiggy, or
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
It’s a Rhode Island thing.
Runner-up for the State drink:
Del's frozen lemonade.
It’s not that it’s delicious—
it is: milk, coffee, sugar.
Nourish the morning, stay
the sweet empty night.
Everything else succumbs.
No church wedding,
nor Mazel Tov you can pass
easily over.
