meanderings


it was a life changing experience
as he later came to recall
the back breaking straw
that went and changed it all

it said automatic coffee maker
so he bought it with delight
and sat waiting for his coffee
all that long day and night

until he read the book
and to his despair
it wasn't automatic
it needed him there

for he had to add the water
plug it into the wall
and grind the coffee beans
he had to do it all

where he spends his days in seclusion
composing poetry for garden snails

just fresh spring water
lives a life of contemplation
doing only that which he oughta
