No Talking Tuesday # 112

Made a mistake today... I had been doing well of late, frig on me.

I had just finished an experimental coffee making session
where I hand crushed the beans with a mortar and pestle
and in my excitement upon re emerging from the kitchen
with the steaming stove top percolator in hand
I said out-loud "Hey Jun."
(And probably would have gone on to say "Want some hand ground coffee!?")

My excitement and whimsical jubilation immediately deflated
as I stood frozen, crushing self loathing taking its stead.
Jun for his part clutched at his heart in a show of sympathy.
There wasn't much to do after
but cry into my incredibly delicious cup of hand crushed Ethiopian coffee.
