Ode to the Coffee Maker

(to the music by Kurt Weill for 'An den kleinen Radioapparat')

O faithful geyser that we gather round
To think of ways to keep the world from being broken.

concerned for water, weather, people, animals and food

besieged by twittering enemies of life, and orange glow

Your liquids keep us from despair when hope is low

promise your bounty will never to cease to flow
