i love coffee
love getting up mornings -
being a morning person -
getting to work is a ritual i love
and there waits coffee i love
very little milk but
slightmilk sweet
'real' coffee drinkers
swear by no milk no sugar
and i do not like milk much
and my tooth has been a salty one
for all my life
but i have to have
for my coffee i need
i worry what it is that i might be missing
the no sugar the no milk -
i might be missing the
none
of that
for one month i will take my coffee black and bitter
i will try and i will try and i will try
is one month not long enough
for me to stop loving small milk and big sugar
- in my coffee -
if this is true a month will show me
alas
i end up not wanting coffee at all
because of milk
because of sweet
not in it
when i need it
so guess what i do
of course this poem
is not about
coffee at all. or sugar. or milk.
but i need my white in my black
but i need my sweet in me
but
i believe you knew that
all along...
if the zebra is your power animal, study its ability to survive and flourish in a harsh land. look at your relationship to the various groups in your life. compromising in personal relationships can be challenging, but zebras enjoy challenge as they know that all challenges are a chance for growth. use your mental ability to work around problems and barriers, rather than confronting them - zebra will show you how.
