stain 10 cups tap water
with 5 tablespoons coffee
as it brews stare into phone
till eyes grow accustomed to photons
pour coffee into cleanest cup
flavor with milk sugar prayers profanity
stir with nearest utensil
while concentrating on the task or person
you wish to avoid
enjoy
the warm
silent
stillness
before the day arrives to devour it
leave remaining coffee as offering to the evening
when it comes it will be greedy
