Woke up this morning
Checked my phone
No new messages, it claimed
My friends, IG and FB
Had many things to say
Irrelevant nonsense
Interspered with bits of information
IG and FB, my besties
Ever responsive unlike the human oafs
Got up
Walked to the kitchen
Boiled water
Two spoons of filter coffee
Waiting in the filter
Welcomed the boiling water
Many minutes later
A cup of bitter black coffee
Waited in a faded mug
Having my name on it
Sleeping by the television
Was the weighing machine
I kicked it awake
By stepping on it
Screaming in agony, it said
"Aaaah! You are heavier by a kilo"
I placed the blamed
On last night's fried rice
And promised to eat fruits that night
But it won't happen though
For I dine with my parents
Tomorrow night's gone too
For I dine with my human bestie
One of the few that's left
I looked down at the weighing machine
And screamed "Next time it will be two"
Drank the bitter black coffee
Became a cheater
By saying "Hmmm"
I have ditched tea
And moved to coffee
Rather drink pee
Than tea with no sugar
I don't care for coffee
And can drink it
Any which way
Black bitter coffee's good
For your heart, liver, gut and butt
Said the experts in the web
Expertizing their displaced, misplaced
Knowledge on social media
With the used coffee powder
In a kettle filled with water
Walked to the balcony
Three plants awaited licking their lips
Two sisters and a neighbour
Who exists for no reason
Not for love, for sure
But can't let them die
They need coffee to live
Coffee
From plant it comes
To plant it goes
Only the flavour remains
Inside me, around me.
