There's a flask of filter coffee 
and a pot of tea, a fresh brew,
there are also other infusions.
Now what shall I...

i share a piece of mind
thoughts in my head
a piece of my heart

she didnt care even though salt makes it hurt...

Was this a bold  endeavour or worst-case high risk plot?
 In one sense I was caught between two poles apart  concerns.
One must never underestimate indeed trivialise a devilish

I'm sorry young lady your future has gone
Capitalism's done irreversible wrong
