Poem: One Man's Cup Of Coffee

"El Conquistador"....
the large letters catch my eye
on a sign in front of the coffee place...
where the restless and the affluent go.
500 years after he did his thing...
bringing destruction in his wake...
and actually discovering nothing...
the man's picture with words...
gets prominent exposure
on a Vancouver sidewalk...
along with some words of appreciation...
"We thank Christopher Columbus
for discovering Costa Rica.
That's where our coffee buyers
discovered El Conquistador.
Subtly sweet with excellent body!"...
I walk on my way thinking how...
one man's conquistador...
is another man's cup of coffee..........
