The Most Important Starbucks Cup I Ever Drank Out Of ...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________



1
Resulted in my
ending a title
with a proposition

2
Was the only Starbucks Cup
I purchased while driving
—in 2015—
Thirty-two hundred miles 
from California
to New York

3
ALL of those miles
were on Interstate freeways

4
But one and only one
of the Interstate Exits
featured
a very visible
Starbucks logo
 
5
That was in Belle Vernon,
Pennsylvania
—my Father's birthplace
 
6
The cup's endpoint
was Katonah, New York
where my girlfriend lived
 
7
It sat on that window sill
for two months
until its demise
just before
I drove back
to California
 
8
Since 2016,
my girlfriend
–also known as Mrs. CarPeo—
 has resided
in Long Beach, CA
 
9
I am a proud member
of the Starbucks 500 Club
as a result of having
purchased
at least 500 cups
of their coffee
 
10
was born
in 1916
