A Question of Choice

... bitter stramonium of hope...
our unquenchable thirst

Thanks, Mata!

"Good to the last drop." Ha - anyways, that was me being cheesy...BUT I love this Kim. Very, very nice. Poetic and memorable to me. *

I really like what you manage to say, so eloquently and so succinctly here, Kim. Strong work. *

Good writing in a small space, Kim: "Urban coffee, consumed in conversation and not, flavored and not, sweet or strong or both..."

Nice piece.

Finely ground prose suitable for the most discriminating taste. *

Thanks for the great comments!

i love this and get it so strongly. Perfect.

Thanks very much, Meg!

Like this a lot, but Kim, try the truck stop on the west edge of Fergus Falls, MN. You don't know about country coffee until you do. *

Thanks, Jack! Glad you liked it.

Sounds like it's worth a trip to Minnesota!

Good story, you got me thinking. I'm an urban native, don't know much about country life, or coffee. But I love the urban kind, freshly roasted.

I love the Urban kind, too, J! Hazelnut latte, please...

lovely alliteration -- enjoyed this contrast summed up in a sip.*

Thanks, Sara!

A really original comparison -- indeed, country coffee usually involves conversation; with a friend or even a bored waitress. On the other hand, urban coffee might be with a terrorist, a serial-killer or a Republican. *

Thanks, Ramon!

Better late than never: Good stuff! Nice turn on the more commonly voiced country nostalgia.

Thanks, Beate! Glad you liked it!
