Cafe Steam

I stand in the coffee shop queue
Diet coke, chicken goujon wrap
A caramel shortbread for dessert
Loyalty points on my loyalty card

The coffee machine hisses and steams
A coffee worker smiles
Heats up my wrap and hands it to me
I thank her and leave a tip

I sit facing the foggy window
Other people sit in groups talking
The shape of an anatomical heart
Grows clear in the window steam
I eat the caramel shortbread

did that anatomical heart just appear, or did you trace it in the steam?
