i take
caffeine only
in an IV, tapped
straight from
a maple..
otherwise i prefer
anabolic tea
cause..
it keeps me
up and
grittin’ teeth
through
heavy
lifts,
guess i’ll grab
my jar of
water
life
and go climb
out on a
cliff..
for a scream
of echoes
while
i sob a prayer
for sleep
tight-
for pity
in your light.

it’s time to pour
a cupful of
anxiety,
tired from the fleeting
buzz i catch off
flavoured
coffees,
i’ll brew 2 bags,
3 bags, 4 bags
..more?
let’s up, up
the anti!
dial up to max
intensity!
maybe just a
little sip?
it does the job
but tastes
like..

..i quit.
nutmeg nibbling
at nervous
nose,
spicy soft with a
mellow waft
of steam,
itchy cheeks,
sweaty creaks
sunk in
seat,
10 slow ticks past
confirmed time
of meet,
ohh..
right shop
wrong street.

..guess i fell asleep.
..guess this coffee’s weak.
