The Coffee Machine

It isn't the fact that I'll need change,
although I will.

It's not that the coffee tastes awful,
even though it does.

It isn't that the paper cup occasionally falls crooked so you stand there watching the coffee pour over the side of the cup and down the drain.

It's not that the coffee comes out so hot you can't even hold the cup in your hand, and trust me, you can't. 

The thing is - the coffee machine is in the hospital waiting room and I hate that.


I hate waiting.
