black coffee

not unlike
a blood sucking vampire
you need
coffee,
strong coffee.
hardly a day goes by
when your eyes
and mind don't
wander
towards a coffee shop
you pass by.
the question now,
is do you have
five dollars
in cash
on hand, or more
if you go crazy and get
that
morning bun
and paper.
the sun has risen.
it's time.
