Mulling over the merits of coffee

Or tea?

It’s 3am

and I cannot decide what I need….

Tea is soothing

Tea

With milk, or not

With lemon, or not

There is something timeless

Stable, stalwart--secure

Loving even

So……late afternoon

And coffee—

Well now, that took a bit more thought

Coffee—is just plain dangerous

Dedicated followers

tribal

obsessive black

Americano long or short

Espresso single or double

Flat white

Cappucino, or latte

Flavour…..

Milk on the side, steamed or cold

Add soy skinny bitch shit (like only a virgo could)

Sugar? Oh that devil!

Honey or lemon?

What does it all mean?!?

I can only therefore conclude

That coffee is dangerous

It invites conversation

Alternate universes

And time travel

Dreams of far off destinations

Turkish bazaars

Brazilian rainforests

Deepest darkest Peru

Oh but there is merit in each

For their very own sake

So who are you?
