THE GOOD STUFF
This morning
you made the coffee
and apologized
because we ran out
of the good stuff
and it was mostly
that bag over there
but I heard you
clean the french press
grind the beans by hand
and fill up the kettle
with filtered water,
and right now
as I put into
my mason jar
(the mugs are dirty)
the leftover
orange zest-flavored sugar
(because we ran out
of the good stuff)
and trade cream
for the chocolate milk
you bought for the kids
(that they haven't even tried yet
but hey the container's huge
so it's okay)
I am looking forward
to its flavor and
damn that's good!
