My Blue Mug
Yes, I’d love a coffee
In my favorite
Blue mug, thanks.
His artist self, responded
No blue mugs on the shelf
Can I get you something else?
It’s right there in front
My blue mug with green dots
It’s Polish, my favorite,
I like it a lot.
Oh you mean its ecru
With a cobalt blue slip
I see why you like it
It has a nice grip
Yes, yes that’s the one
The handle’s the same
Painted blue with green circles
Can we stop this game?
The cup has blue circles
Green ones stamped on the top
The handle’s just cobalt
With lots of green dots.
Ok, ok, but we all can agree
It’s a round pottery cup
Perfectly smooth
My blind mother could see
Mother agreed a round pottery cup
Perfectly smooth it is not
The base here is roughed up
The clay is quite bare
Hands shoot in the air
Grab my cup and I pour
The almost cold coffee
And slump into my chair.
