another cup of coffee

i press the button
to signal
my butler to come and take
my empty cup
for a refill.
but he doesn't answer.
i yell out his name,
Frederick.
still nothing.
I call for the house keeper,
Sophia,
nothing.
no reply. hey, i yell out,
is anyone
working today.
and then i look out the window
and see them
together,
hanging clothes on
the line,
the sun is in her face,
she's beautiful.
he gently kisses her neck.
she's in love with him.
i'll miss my hot coffee,
but for them
it's time.
