This machine keeps me company<\/p>\n
I often walk up to it<\/p>\n
I find the drip drip drip musical<\/p>\n
The fluffy brown rises<\/p>\n
Jiggling, filling my cup<\/p>\n
Unconsciously finching, taking a sip<\/p>\n
It is bitter sweet and I have a burnt tongue<\/p>\n
‘Ther’ are bigger things to consider<\/p>\n
But ‘ther’ are smaller ones too<\/p>\n
And I am in the midst of all<\/p>\n
Am I feeling any different?<\/p>\n
The intricate fantasies shock me<\/p>\n
I see and feel in slow mo<\/p>\n
I am unlucky to recognize this<\/p>\n
Maybe I am overthinking<\/p>\n
My coffee is finished<\/p>\n
The brown drops have left a smile<\/p>\n
On the bottom of a writer’s cup<\/p>\n
I am lucky enough to notice this.<\/p>\n
