"Kittens, Cocoa, and Cuddles"
[Monday, September 10, 1973]
Nothing says fall like
the smell of hot chocolate
and turning the pages of
a new book so that they
rustle like dry leaves.
Nothing says comfort
like cuddling a kitten
the color of cocoa.
Everything is warm
and brown and beautiful,
coffee-color and sand,
camel and chocolate.
Come sit down on
the community couch
with its grass-green velvet,
put your cup on the maple table,
listen to the folk music going by,
and relax into the earth tones.

Notes:
This actually goes with another poem, "The Community Couch," which is about Community Couch Bookstore Café. Imagine this as one of the poems that gets written there and read on an open-mike night.
