i wake and move from the couch
Cold air brushes my skin
I drudge alone
to the coffee pot and
scoop in little black grounds
I find that I am not
good at making four cups of coffee
It seems no matter
how much of the grounds I add
the coffee comes out weak
like the coffee can't hold itself
all I want to do is make eight cups
like I used to
but If I did,
Your four cups would just sit in the pot
