Caffeine art
A lot of my writer friends … work when the Muse calls them … You know, days of nothing, then this creative burst where they write for 36 hours straight fueled by caffeine and idealism—Willow Wilson
The artistic effects of caffeine vary. Not all users create exhibition quality artworks, simply by brewing the contents of coffee pods, inhaling the aroma and downing cup after cup until driven to crush the pods into picture poetry. We disclaim responsibility for any less artistic effects on users of the stuff that inspires it.

Glad it gave you a laugh, David. A sense of humor must be an essential part of Camus’ philosophy about the problem of absurdity. 🙂
I thoroughly enjoyed this post. The zazen pod section was great. Morning pod I had to read multiple times. I couldn’t decide if you were saying that dew evaporates a poem. (What a great image!) Or that there is a poem in evaporating dew. What the heck, it can be two poems in three lines! 🙂
Thank you beaucoup, LuAnne, très gentil.
The light reflecting from Pepe’s pod “Caffeine Art 1,” is the inspiration for the metaphor of dew evaporating into poetry. Somewhere between the “Morning pod” lune and the Anais Nin poem quoted below it, wafts “caffeine’s artistic effect” from the morning coffee brewed in one of your own poems. Sorry I can’t now describe it any other way, but there it is. 🙂
