“The Brew”
I look at the machine.
It’s... plastic. Black.
Waiting.
You take the scoop.
Now, this is important. The grounds? They have to be... precise.
If you don't... measure?
Well.
Disaster. Obviously.
You pour the water. In the back.
It makes a sound. A gurgle. Like a... wounded bird.
But efficient.
The drip.
...
The drop.
...
It takes... time.
And then? You drink it.
Black. No sugar.
Maybe... a little cream. If you're feeling... wild.
But you gotta ask yourself...
Did you clean the pot?
Because if you didn't...
We have a problem.

Sounds like coffee but I don't make mine like that mine is expresso ground fine filled half full boiling water poured over as it runs into the cup, the stronger the better. But could this be a bit of a metaphor my dear friend everything now days is mechanized, measured, plastic, sanitized sorry I'm too old school for that. Do rinse my cup though.
So true about coffee and metaphors. Thanks, Soren🙏🏻🕊️
