While I was washing the dishes this morning, I was reminded that I’m
\nunusually guarded about the coffee pot.  I’ll wash the coffee pot; I almost
\nalways do.  I’m the only coffee drinker in the house.  I brew the
\ncoffee.  I fill the carafe to the six-cup line, shovel the grounds, click
\nthe switch.  I empty the pot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In K.C. we had a fancy dishwasher.  It did the work of clearing grime
\nfrom all the kitchen-wares.  But in N.Y., we’re back to washing by hand. 
\nAnd Ph., at fourteen, is as good as any of us at keeping us with enough clean
\ndishes to eat.  No matter how we arrange our turns at the sink, however, I get
\nan itch about others washing the delicate glass pot, especially Ph.  In
\nfact, I often ask him to leave it as the final dish, then I’ll wash it. \n<\/p>\n

What’s so special about the coffee pot?  I’m not sure.  That’s
\nthe<\/i> thing<\/i>.  It just seems fragile to me.  But this
\nmorning–first leg of a chore-filled Friday–I had a flash of insight, a
\ncoffeepiphany of sorts.  I’m almost certain somebody broke a coffee pot
\nwhen I was a kid.  I can’t remember who or under what circumstances or what
\neven came of it.  Did it crack from careless washing?  Must’ve. 
\nLeast that’s what I told myself this morning.<\/p>\n

In turn I associated the not-quite-a-memory with the Twilight Zone<\/i>
\nepisode–"Time Enough At Last"<\/a>— where the bank worker, after avoiding global
\ncatastrophe because he was in the vault when the world ended, finds himself with
\na bulk of time for reading.  Just Henry Bemis and books; time stood still. 
\nAnd he’s overjoyed about it, as I remember (a re-run me and J. watched multiple
\ntimes on late-night TV, early teens), so overjoyed that he manages to step on
\nhis glasses.  Without them he can’t see well enough to read.  Bemis
\nwas one sorry dude.  Woe!<\/p>\n

Because I’m the only one who even thinks about coffee (not<\/i> the only
\none who thinks differently about the fragility of the pot) in the house, it’s a
\nsimilar sort of despair that I’m trying to intercept, assist others in avoiding. 
\nInterventional dish-washing, as I think of it.  Was I the one who broke the
\npot as a kid?  Could it have been me?  Doesn’t even matter.  That
\nit’s implicated in my action–in my everyday way of living–presents me with an
\nodd quandary, and I’m not sure, even connecting it up with Bemis, that I’m any
\ncloser to feeling differently about it.<\/p>\n

\n\"Coffee<\/p>\n

Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the
\nrubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
