The Most Important Meal Of The Day

I SNAP open a new jar of granulated coffee
Splitting the golden seal with a fresh teaspoon
An instant burst of coffee smell invades my nostrils

The granules CRACKLE as I pour in scalding water
Filling my cup to the brim with steaming lava Java
I inhale the life giving wake and pick me up brew

I POP open a pack of my favourite Superking cigarettes
Striking a match I get that burst of sulphur and heat
I draw down and deeply inwards, reaching satisfaction

It’s my SNAP, CRACKLE AND POP of a morning
My steaming cup of coffee and my smoking cigarette
For me, it’s what I see, as, ‘The Breakfast of Champions’
