you are my very first thought in the early morning
eyes still crusty, stretching and yawning
your glorious odour lifts my spirits
my love for you knows few limits
how gracefully you blend with different ingredients
yet you remain uncannily expedient
as a compliment to many a pastry
you are a fixed item, be the dish sweet or savoury
your industry sadly is bitter sweet, much like your flavour
still countless times you have been a life saver
my heart aches at the downfall of your culture
the fast food nation picking your corps like a vulture
attracting scavengers left and right
with no respect for your history or might
almost gone are the coffee houses of old
sites closed down, locales have been sold
nevertheless, you remain
still refreshing minds, sweetened or plain
i salute the bean, the roasting and the sieve
rest assured, my life you will never leave
