The First World Monday Morning Coffee Ceremony

It's 5AM again as we grind
away

to Ethiopia, Kenya, and Costa Rica
to sip the First World Monday Morning Coffee Ceremony.

It's our morning ritual and we're a tribe
Sitting around in our coffee ceremony -
in gridlock - in our circle of car-heater fire 
separated by just wheels on the highway and a mouse click
from the coffee-growers sharing stories around 
a crackling fire
