Woke up this morning
to the obnoxious beeps
of a garbage truck in reverse
that turned out to be
emanating from a new
but defective coffee maker
that almost always drips
some of my favorite dark roast
outside of the coffee pot*
so it sizzles on the warming plate
before making its way
to the countertop
in a hot, brown puddle.

It’s not a decanter until you decant something from it.
