— written at 06:40 by the cook —
Three things that never change.
01
The rye
Baked at Ostra across the street. It arrives warm at 7:40 and is gone by ten.
02
The machine
The coffee machine from the printers’ canteen, rebuilt twice and still pulling shots.
03
The table
One long oak table. Sit where you like. Most mornings, somebody shares a map.
