[FONT=&quot]about an hour after lunch
she brings me fresh coffee
in a maroon cup we call Bulldog
my high school mascot

she doesn't bother to ask
if I want it or not
writers never say no
to coffee or sex

the cup's concoction
is rich and creamy
sweetened with stevia
and coconut cream[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]
my lips and tongue
celebrate the welcoming elixir
it rests in a pool
before I swallow

gears engage
as caffeine kicks in
result in a portion of a poem
two pages of a short story
and a rewrite of my current novel's
love scene

I sit back and feel pleased
with myself, her tactics
always work

she comes back to the office
to pick up my cup
and asks if there's anything
else I need

without me speaking a word
she sits on the couch
undoes her blouse
she knows before I do
she knows I won't say no[/FONT]
