Cup Of Coffee



Every morning I cup my hands together

Not pointed up to heaven

But in the opposite direction of sincerity

Martha pours hot scalding coffee into them

Into the valley I created made of flesh and blood
I pray for our protection as the liquid flows

Trembling, it is too much for me to hold

Hands weren't meant for drinking from

Are not a proper receptacle for fluids

She screams holly hell when it falls

Calls me incompetent and lazy

A misuser of liquids and beverages, a fluid loser

The floor is no place to have your morning drink

A proper cup of coffee in a copper cup would do

I think
