Dear Coffee


You are the reason 

For clear-minded thinking

On comatose mornings 

Feeling groggy and numb


I position my ass upright 

Shuffle zombie-like forward

To the kitchen I’m headed

For my infusion of life


Your aroma wafts hope

From the cup to my mouth

Thought and motion soon will be faster

Than a three-toed sloth
