notes

a bit of a colophon today.

original

these are not strictly the original notes
for today; they are superimposed on a newly generated
background image, but the handwriting here did not
pass through an ai.

ai modified

before adding the background image above,
asked chatgippity’s image generation
to add the embossing and card stock … note the subtle mistranscriptions here.
fascinating, how it retained the proximity
without the literal meaning. its
squinting at the mind.

grind

1.8.1 on timemore.
16.0 g beans (guatemala).
3 spritzes RDT.
15.8 g yield, topped up to 16.0 g
with leftovers, which are now
stored in a dedicated unicorn
cup, not catchment of timemore.

sniff

five dimensional.
sideways tingle

brew

by 1’10”, added 255.7 g purified water
pouring technique: mid-radial clockwise
no splash
immersion time: 2’45”
pour-down finished: 3’45”

taste

first sip bitter
sweet. rich. these
simple, monosyllabic
portals. a rhythmic
flow, an eddy. a
shudder. juicy balance
breathing through
the taste after the slip
of the throat, reverberation
in the mouth’s hall.

listening

fauré: orchestral
works. prelude to
pénélope, violin
concerto. not as familiar with this one.
2’20”, it creeps on stage, inch worming. pierre fouchenneret’s
instrument is a sweet and nimble wand of delicacy.
comforting warmth.
