CoffeeUs

I plunge my coffee 
in a French press
after letting it steep 
what I have noticed 
even with coffee grounds 
is that they gather 
just like my memories 
of you and me 
locking ill fitting pieces 
together forming a blockade
letting nothing pass through 
just like my memories 
of you and me 
and what I do 
is raise the plunger 
setting the grounds free
to swirl around and 
regather together but never 
as naturally as first 
and this I think 
that you and I 
are just like coffee 
having once been beans
then ground haphazardly together 
then mixed then steeped 
just like my memories 
of you and me 
for us to enjoy 
piping hot again together
