the coffee spill

you spill coffee on your bright
white t-shirt
at 7 am.

you're in the car and have
no time
to turn around and go
back home again.

all day you walk around with
a stain
the shape of italy
on your chest.

people point and say,
you have something on your
shirt.

and you answer them
excitedly
with an italian accent,

and say, i know, i know.
yes.
yes.
using your hands, to
express.
