all-night diner –
scrying my future
in a coffee cup

What a wonderful haiku. It's also like an opening line to a great crime noir novel.
.
I really admire the use of the verb 'scrying' which makes the haiku even stronger, and a good use of a gerund with no ambiguous aftertaste.
.
I just have to say I love it!
