It’s been five minutes
since I added the sugar
to my cup;
10 minutes
since the creamer,
15 minutes
since the coffee,
20 minutes
since the boiling water.
Now,
after I took a little sip,
my lips
could not feel the warmth
that my body longed for.
There is no use
for the mixture,
no use
to finish it up.
So,
I’ll just get
another cup.
