Beyond Black and White
Article Summary: A coffee break is an existential experience.
Over visiting a neighbor the other day…
“Would you like a cup of coffee?” he asks. “I just roasted the latest batch.”
“Yes. Coffee sounds great.”
“How do you take it?” he asks as he grinds the beans.
“Black; no sugar, no milk.”
“Well, we have no milk anyway, only cream.”
“In that case, I’ll have it with no cream.”
“We could water the cream down to make milk, I suppose, if you’d prefer.”
“That’s ok,” I say, “No cream is better than no milk anyway.”
“Well, actually, I prefer cream also,” he says, “but like you, I don’t put it in my coffee.”
“What about milk?” I ask.
“Never.”
“Unless it’s a café au lait?” I venture.
“Of course,” says he, “or a cappuccino.”
“Exactly.” I say.
“Just so.”
“Sartre sans sucre?” I ask.
“No. Nein. Niet-zsche, pas de lait.” He gets in the last word. Almost.
I sip my coffee (black) in silence (white).
