Vaginas
are
coffee
consumable when
cold, warm, iced, or far above the legally consumable limit
served sweet, bitter, and/or a little milky

add a little bit of flavor
and stir the stick
swirl the spoon
watch as it slips beneath the surface
the precision of gingerly lapping
at the freezing burn
fingering beneath the miniscus
Vaginas
are
coffee
