Woke up, punched the button on the coffee machine...

...and then promptly became so occupied with edits, articles, and music that I didn't actually retrieve the coffee until after noon.

It's a good thing that good coffee is still good when cold.

It's good to have engrossing work.

Alison Luterman:

Day creaks open on its torn hinges;
we asked for it, we asked
for everything.
And God said,
Let there be figs
and black coffee,
bitter and sweet for your tongue,
and your memory too,
later, if you need
something to hold onto.
