In Coffee Spoons
“Do I dare Disturb the universe? In a minute there is time For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all: Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life in coffee spoons; I know the voices dying with a dying fall Beneath the music from a further room.”
- “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, T.S. Eliot
