Sitting admiring my breakfast - <br />Coffee <br />Water, heat, coffee beans, grinding power, milk, and sugar <br />Toasted muffin <br />Muffin, heat, butter, and marmalade <br />Orange juice <br />Morning paper <br />- I got to thinking how <br />It had all come together on my table <br />But the supply chain length and complexity <br />Quickly overwhelmed me <br />Even if I left out the table, the breakfast room <br />And the money to pay for it all <br />Leaving me thinking how fragile! <br />This system that supports my breakfast!<br /><br />Stewart McKenzie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/x-diary-14-breakfast/
