Inspiration at a Diner

Unfiltered Grinds

Coffee is a fascinating device
It is addictive
It is ever changing
It is always the same
Every time it is touched, it changes
Every time it is left alone, it grows cold
Until something new is poured into it's small space
And it is new and warm and reborn
Sometimes it is bitter, but the right additive makes it sweet
Sometimes it is colorful and bright
Others it is gray and dull

My mind is one and the same
It is addictive
It is ever changing
It is alway the same
Every time it is touched, it changes
Every time it is left alone, it grows cold
Until something new is poured into it's small space
And it is new and warm and reborn
Sometimes it is bitter, but the right additive makes it sweet
Sometimes it is colorful and bright
Others it is gray and dull

I wish this were true indefinitely
I have no control over the changes, the coldness, the bitterness and the dull gray matter
I cannot cause new warmth on command
And I do not know how to make it colorful and bright again

Until I do, I'll just keep refilling my cup when it gets half empty.
