****.

I ruined my coffee.

Distracted and

Dumping

Creamer after creamer

To achieve desired lightness.

Turns out,

Trying to mask the bitterness

Made everything worse.

Do I drink it ruined?

Or not at all?

****.

Burnt and bitter is better than

Clotting creaminess coating my throat.

My final coffee of the year,

Of course it’s a teachable moment.

Something something authenticity.

I wish I had more coffee.
