Ode to the Bean

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
