it took exactly
one month
i thought to myself
as i opened the cupboard
the tenth to the tenth
a thirty one day degree
in the sociology of the exponential
it took exactly one month
to come full circle
to go around a 1248 mile block
to get next door
the five stages of grief in a lunar cycle
that’s when i realized
this one opened today
is the
last
can
of’
coffee
i choose to slowly sip
delicious memories
and plan to learn to prefer
earl grey tea
