I woke and made coffee
A poem by Ginger
Cochran
One morning, I woke and made coffee.
And I thought, for the first time – what if I have been
asleep my whole live and am waking for the very first time?
What if I were in a coma? What if I were dead?
The coffee is very warm. I cradle the mug in my hands and breath in the soft steam as it lifts from the rim.
I stop to concentrate on the taste – as if it were the first
sip of my life.
I soak in every possible sound – the air vent, the fountain
and the pencil against paper.
What if I am experiencing it all for the very first time?
