nothing like a
hot cup of coffee
to warm the bones
it feels like home
to take the first sip
the spinal-tap drip
of caffeine igniting
and delighting the brain
(keeps some people sane)
without that cup of legal drug
filling a decent sized mug
half of society would spontaneously
shut down, the electric grid cut off, the capitol would be burned to the ground
until the opiate of the masses was brought online, restored
so that the mug of brown liquid
could once again be adored
