so i'm sitting there,
in front of the t.v.,
fresh as a daisy,
             moist like a ****:
wondering...
    this flat white coffee
advert is really something...
i remember times when
i used to order an:
americano with milk...
      apparently a flat wife...
white is an non-fancy
way of saying: just pour
some milk into it...
        too bad they don't
serve a rich white...
   huh-what's-that?
        double cream instead
of milk...
      but this advert
gave me flushes...
     i started fidgeting in
my seat, getting all hot & bothered
at the McMathematics...
   so she's selling a flat white,
or rather, she explains it as (verbatim):
two thirds coffee, a third milk,
   and a third milk-foam
...
i would seriously have a problem
with that: if i didn't cut
my thumb off to make it
a complete fraction...
   that's why i used to ask for:
an americano with milk...
            so what's a cappuccino?
afro white? frizz white?
i'm a feral creature living on
the outskirts of London...
  language is hardly a way
to cage me...
   at least i found a medium
i can ****...
   and it's gagging
               for more of my
   antics...
                   and that shouldn't
even become an abstract of
a person for the person
           on the receiving end...
McMathematics: four thirds
equal a whole and not 4/3,
           i.e. 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 1;
it must mean there's a free
muffin to go along with
the fla- white (hyphen
so you prolong and ****
that sound like u b
            experiencing a brain
hae-mo-rr-hage:
                or talk like Dorry);
trill baby, trill:
                       call a hedge
the Hague via hage...
       háge háge háge...
            and hike with a hake
down the end of your fishing line
(hay'k, stutter,
                   snap:
                              ha   -k- 'eh?)
also know as
the haka: in social
sciences that's:
cultural incorporation,
rather than appropriation;
but then again:
who am i to sharpen someone's
pencil?
    if this is the closest i'll
ever get to sky diving?
   **** it:
                               free fall!

“we must hage the courage
to change the things we cannot accept
and to accept the things we cannot change”
but what if this thing
i cannot change
nor can i accept?
