o my beans of green
o my beans of brown
these are
coffee days
am I the master
or the slave
I turn you on the flame
I
make you change
but should I miss
a roasting
day
I
am a devastation
o my browning greens
o aromatic wonders
I turn you
round and round
that you should not burn
your oil lingers
fragrant
on my fingertips
the essence of you
is everywhere
and I
am the one consumed

nope …. it goes way back to the follies of youth when trying to make ends meet and taking on the world meant smokes and coffee as fuel …. high stress and anxiety and I ended up with an ulcer …. so, on the whole, I’m not a fan of the rust bucket brew.
