outpouring of caffeinated inspiration

just enough beans

to start the day with

onesinglecupofcoffee!

do i treat it like i would if i were making

manycups?

like a single student, alone,

in a giant lecture hall?

these beans deserved attention

and focus...

tutoring, asitwere--to torture the metaphor.

the single cup they would make

must be the intent

fromstarttofinish...

the one cup, a goal, 

a tribute to the life and posthumous journey these beans took

justtostartmyday.

suitably honored on a single cupped pedestal.

ground coarse, brewed gently,

pressed...

smooth midwest dairy compliments earthy sumatran notes.

upon consumption 

their journey

sparks inspiration

and words that should--with the fines--get rinsed...

downthedrain

but you read them anyway.

and i

am buzzing into my day

grinning
