Coffee

Flavorful, aromatic, harsh...What a joy! Bitter, stagnant, pungent...What an addiction? Take it black? Add some milk? Sugar-free? Ceramic mug, Styrofoam cup, travel mug? What is your fancy? Half full or filled to the brim? I prefer, pottery mug with a bit of half-and-half with no stir. A start to a good day.

Donuts

Round sugary bundles of forgiveness. The aroma fills my office. Coffee tastes freshly brewed and harvested in combination with the fluffiness of dough. Being shared with those who vowed to cut back on sweets for the new year. Licking your lips later to find a remnant of savored icing. Donuts...oh how lovely...to be shared...never enough.
