How absurd is this coffee!!
All those beans produced somewhere I don't know.
Who might have been the farmer?
I just wonder about those hands,
which planted the sapling,
cared it for years

and those which picked the beans.
Were they all the same?
I see the tree itself,
I wonder is it still alive?
All those factory workers
who toiled their day, their life
to make this powder out of those beans.
I wonder.
All the way the river flowed
the boulders it had to crush
the gorges it had to create
and now who remembers it
after it had reached the ocean??
People just see the vastness of the ocean.
But I wonder
about the drop where it all started.
I remember the sweat of the farmer
the pain he went through
and pain in my palms while I brewed the powder.
Now! The coffee is really tasty!!
Now, is there anything such as taste?
or is it just a sensation created by chemicals
and felt by my mind.
Is it really tasty?
It's really absurd!!
