Some drops of Brazilian poetry

Most Brazilians love coffee. In the morning, after lunch, in the middle of the afternoon...
Alone or with friends.
It does not matter, we must have the dark beverage. It is part of the social and cultural life of this people.

In this poem, Caio Fernando Abreu makes a special request:
A coffee and a love, both hot, please.
