Dear Coffee,

I can't actually imagine life without you.  I'm not addicted to you, but the pleasure I get from you, from the ritual of the pour and plunge, or the stove top percolate, or the two hours in a cafe with two of you and a pen and paper, is immense.  So I say thank you.  Thank you for filling me with a wake-up bitterness and a chocolatey comfort.  Thank you for the times when you collaborate with warm, frothed up milk and present yourself as a latte or flat-white and I get to dip and lick you from the back of a spoon.  Thank you for accompanying me in my creative pursuits; so often you are my editor, my ideas man, my co-writer.

Big Kiss X
(Sorry about the coffee breath)
