"Yet here we all are in our suits and work shirts/ joined in the brotherhood of espresso..."

"or how is it said? La fratellanza dell’espresso,
draining our little white cups
with a quick flourish of the wrist,
each of us tasting the same sweetness of life,
if you take a little sugar, and the bitterness
of its brevity, whether you choose to take sugar or not."

--Billy Collins, "I Am Not Italian"
