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.
