This poem describes a cold winter's day from the vantage point of a restaurant opened for breakfast using as a metaphor "you can see people's breath as they come in the door." The text is arranged in a spiral adjacent to a coffee cup to simulate steaming coffee. The theme of the poem relates to the friendliness which occurs when a group of people come together in a shelter for protection from the cold weather. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
