A Bit of Froth - Diane Scantlebury

Could a bit of froth
Be missing from my life?
That light scummy bit
Floating on a cappuccino
Full of air
And worth nothing
The fragrant bubbly bubbles
Skimming the troubled waters
Coalescing until they pop
And the excitement is gone
Leaving the initial promise
Flat and uninviting
