a little whipped cream

my barista
asks me how i'm doing.

but i'm not in a good mood.
i just found

out my ex won the lottery.
how are you,

he says again.
feeling okay?

what are you a doctor?
i snap back,

then immediately say
i'm sorry.

i'm having a bad day.
extra shot of espresso?

he asks, maybe a little
cinnamon

on top? whip cream too?
sure, i tell them, that 

should take care of things.
