Mukka Express Stovetop Latte Maker:
Water goes underneath,
Then coffee in a filter
Then milk on top
And after a few minutes’ waiting
A dark, narrow, intense,
Jet of coffee will shot into the milk
Where it will turn into curlicues
Before hitting the metal side
And disappearing into the browning milk.
And you will be stuck between
Admiring the beauty of what’s just happened
And reflecting about the lessons you have just been taught
About entropy and the Second Law,
About chaos and turbulence,
About civilizations settling near rivers,
And about languages, starting pure in antiquity,
Before getting mixed-up with whatever was around
And coming to us ready to be sipped.
