The Super power of Bacon

A powerful thing not seen or felt

The incredible superpower
of the aroma of bacon frying
And the pungent scent
of fresh brewed coffee…
To me, this shouts out
…“Sunday morning!”…
It has the power to move
The most sleepy persons
The power to lift leaden eyelids
The ability to make frowns
Turn to smiles and evoke memories
Of timeworn kitchen tables
And chipped coffee cups
And cold linoleum floors
No more or less
It’s childhood
It’s parents and grandparents
Old neighborhoods
Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall
And yet all it truly is
Is a bit of aromatic vapor
Just bacon frying
Coffee brewin’
Anticipation
…And memories…

Is there anything more inviting than the smell of bacon frying? Even if you're not hungry, it's a delicious cudite!

...oh, I almost forgot the coffee...that would be a MAJOR malfunction of morning!!

The smell of bacon frying reminds me of nothing but the fact that I would kill for a bacon cheeseburger right now...

Oh, what sweet passion you have for bacon and coffee. But there's more to it like you said...reminding you of past memories and making you feel different times, seasons, moments. I have the same sensations sometimes when I go somewhere and I smell a scent that triggers a wonderful memory to me of my childhood. It's an exhilarating feeling! And that was refreshing indeed!
