The Law of Coffee

When making coffee
one must keep
this simple fact in mind;
Even a single drop of milk
will ruin
the inky blackness
that is "coffee"
in its purest form
and prove itself to be
irretrievable.
So;
One must proceed
with caution

This is a kind of a weird poem, but please let me know what you think! What do you suppose it symbolizes?

  1. I feel like its symbolizing something thats so perfect and pure and yet people take advantage of it and ruin it.

  2. First off, I just have to say BLACK COFFEE?
    I think this is symbolizing how it only takes a tiny bit of something to ruin something so pure and perfect. It shows how fragile that thing really is and how easily it is 'turned to the dark side' so to speak(even though in this case it's getting lighter). Love it!
