A Week without Coffee

Jalal (Glory), 17 Mulk (Dominion), 164 B.E. - Friday, February 22, 2008 about 6:18 PM PST

A week without coffee,
without the robust aroma
of 100% Columbian beans
wafting through the house.

There is no reason for this
I am not fasting
or giving up coffee
for anything other
then lack of planning,
lack of forethought.

A week without coffee,
drinking only hot herb tea
is not a joyous occasion
or a reason to celebrate
anything other then
forgetting to keep change
in the box marked
"Coffee Money."
