Some cubist thoughts on coffee

I
It is early in the day
that I brew my coffee
but even earlier
were the beans picked and roasted

II
Caution:
Contents hot

III
The way
a bit of white cream
creates swirling patterns
against the deep rich black

IV
Was coffee available
on the Pequod?
The First Mate would know

V
the humble
and the proud
are equally scalded
if the pot breaks

VI
some people prefer tea over coffee
other people are wrong in different ways

at dVerse, Bjorn is having us explore the idea of Cubist poetry.  I really don’t know if I did this right, but I did have a lot of fun in the attempt!
