dark roast

dark roast

i spilled coffee

all over my good jeans

blemished buckle

now dark gold

caffeine poems stained

i am writing now

in uncomfortable slacks

too many holes

in my older dungarees

they let in too much white space

less words

better fit?

maybe they just shrink

with more washings

or refined grounds.

Those old jeans sound like former selves and former experiences. More washings may make them fit better and also reduce the effects of the stains of the years.

Does the paper shrink too? To fit the words that is.

Perking is a way of waking up to new Adventures... a dark roast of Sumatra will bring your attention to a level of Flavor that brings Sunrise in Prism colors of Knowledge. tenderly, Pat

Green would be for Geography… Blue for Aviation (the Wright brothers) and Lavender for Horticulture … Yellow for Gold… and so forth. If you want to see an Endearing Movie with Gregory Peck… call up “Yellow Sky” about a Prospector and his Gold. The best ending with a Smile. Although a Western… not what you would expect. tenderly, Pat

I did quite like that film....yes....Gregory Peck was one of the best...

Anne Baxter at the end of the Movie was so adorable in that Hat… wish I had been riding the Horse… lol Pat

I am prone to the smooth Colombian myself. But I must confess to some coffee stained notebooks in my past. It doesn't bother me so much, the clothes, but trying to retrieve my thoughts from the stains left behind is never an easy chore. I enjoyed the read.

thank you for your kind words, Fabian,
