A Poem by Kolten Slaughter

We sat down at the coffee shop, 

inhaling that crisp New Haven air.

It’s 12:40am in the morning

and I’m on my second cup 

of coffee —

Asking questions we already 

knew the answers to. 

It’s cold but I like it. 

The leaves are crackling 

But I don’t mind. 

Questions laughed at us,

And cooled our coffee.

Our laughs were on fire —

we already knew the

answer.
