What I have

I grabbed my white Starbucks mug

It was all white with the usual green logo.

I place it in front of my two year old coffee marker

Pouring the black coffee in my white clean cup.

As it fills, I see the steam leaving the cup

I grab my sliver spoon and

added 4 scoops of brown sugar.

I went to the fridge and take out the half and half

Not the gallon of whole milk,

Just the half and half. 

I pour it in my coffee just enough that it reach the tip top.

I took a sip of my coffee,

since it over flow by accident.

As I stir my coffee I watch as the black coffee mix in with the half and half,

The color black turning brown.

I place my sliver spoon in the sink

Not giving it a second thought.

I sat down with my white Starbucks mug

Drinking my prepare coffee

And I thought to myself,

"Is that all I need for my coffee?"
