The barista smiles
as I order
“Hot chocolate please
and hold the hot chocolate,
extra whipped cream
and sprinkles”.
A “drink” for a five year old,
unspillable in the car.
Coloring outside the lines.
Asking for dessert first,
asking for what you really want.
Asking for what will
bring you joy.
I wish we could
all so easily order
what brings us joy.
