I Sipped a Latte at Starbucks

I sipped a latte at Starbucks,
   decaf non-dairy.
and thought of tiny children dancing in periwinkle tutus,
   ballet class late Thursday at dusk.

Tender arms curved overhead,
Little heels and chins lifted with tightrope-walk grace.
Inhaling, exhaling, breathing,
    and wandering.

Wide eyes, open lips, graceful tendrils all swirling,
twirling around as they shift in the wind.
    As if non-truth and truth
can be whisked, blended and steeped


Stirred into one as they dive, dip, and leap

soaring and spinning,
calling out
naming
continuous searching each exit
                                       each space.
