The Largest Coffee Cup


Andy Warhol, Cup and Saucer, 1962
Space. Since the theory of relativity adjectives like large, eternal, sightlessly remote or minuscule are all blurred for me, there are times when I cannot distinguish the space laying in an autumnal park, from that of the inside of a coffee cup. I sometimes like to merge these and thus get a pretty park in a white China Town coffee cup. Whether is pleasantly large or ‘out of space’ depends only on my mood.  However, I righteously associate more space with pleasant and less space with unpleasant circumstances.

This city is way too little to squeeze itself into my China coffee cup.
