Delivered From Perfection

A perfect cup of coffee
launches the perfect day, 
but coffee must be ground to bits
completely 
smithereened and thoroughly crushed 
no trace of completeness, 
to release the aroma
that permeates my senses 
my maligned sensibilities 
distorting both.

I am grateful for these distortions 
distractions
As an old perception attached to them 
brings hope, that perfection might bring tranquility 
or that perfection brings peace 
space
lebensraum 

Aroma's that can dull 
the internal microscope len 
that i'm under this morning 
and every morning

my sick friend and perpetual free will
gets granted clemency today
a slight reprieve, 
momentarly granted insight 
on how to let go, 
get sloppy 
live a life worth living
