THE SHARK FACE IS SCREAMING IN THE DOORWAY (for Marijke de Vos)

You have to time the stages carefully

when you make Aeropress coffee. Thirty seconds

pre-infusion, another two minutes thirty brewing time.

Express gently over thirty seconds. Then, if the grind

is not too fine, you can, like me sink down 

in your favourite grey chair, with your phone in one hand 

and a cup in the other. A shark face is screaming 

in the doorway, sure, sure, but these beans, these beans 

are Fazenda Cachoeira da Grama – natural yellow bourbon,

walnut and dark chocolate alongside a white sugar sweetness,

and the new Rogue One trailer just dropped.
