IN THE BACKGROUND
Whistling patron
Shop-talking cops
Indistinct voices float from TODAY
Cold case generator purrs
Metal scoop grinds against ice
Blender commotion
Hiss of steam
Ceramic warmth on my fingertips
I sigh
Cash drawer slams
Tip jar jingles
Grocery carts rattle beyond the door
All join the silent passage of my pen on paper.
