“Meals make the society, hold the fabric together in lots
of ways that were charming and interesting and intoxicating to me. The perfect
meal, or the best meals, occur in a context that frequently has very little to
do with the food itself.” Anthony Bourdain
This chipped coffee cup
was your favorite.
You liked its imperfections,
its history, broken pieces
glued by conversations..
life.. humanity.. miles.
You’d grin…Lift your cup
and joke it was impossible to break
something that couldn’t be fixed.
Hindsight is a blunt companion.
I swam the shallow end
of caffeine unaware
I was watching you drown.
