soul beans

< Re: What have we learned in six years? | dream >

flow like coffee, your soul
the beans, rough ground
for life to flow through, creating a strong hot heady drink.

why add so much crap, all that
saccharine and aspartame and
imitation non-flavored creamer?
it just covers up the taste of your
soul beans -- whether
weak or bitter or chocolate, it's still
your soul trying to seep through.

this morning, perhaps
set aside the one-touch stain bucket, and
recycle your dusty bleach-colored filters--
let that fine-ground soul
swim freely, perhaps with some cardamom
and rest at the bottom of a small cup, saying
"I'm still here!" as you sip.
