Evelyn's Cafe

Travel Route One past Bogart’s Key Largo,
roads that wind, about and above,
the blue sea.
Scenic, single lane, at sea level, through
Islamorada and tall ships,
to Ducks Key.

Evelyn’s, where Southern hospitality,
and Sonoran hacienda
marry.
Cold drink to cool-off, no A.C., no matter,
atmospheric appetizer makes you
tarry.

Eggs Benito, Grits and Jalapenos,
sate your hunger and adventure and
curiosity.
Café caliente and sweet Southern Comfort,
sharpen your senses about
this odyssey.

Via con dios and “see y’alls” all around,
back on road, focus on flora and fauna,
I drift by.
Dolphins, like a number 2 pencil sketch,
arc grey against green sea
and blue sky.

I arrive.
