Cups

~ Harlan Didrickson 

An ode to
those coffee cups 
the chipped and 
mismatched ones whose 
set has long 
ago gone missing 
to the stragglers 
that are never 
strangers to the 
ones left behind 
testaments of other 
times some better 
and some worse 
and after all 
aren’t we too
just hand me 
downs once used
but never forgotten
