one more cup of joe

i think of  coffee

as jumper cables.

something to give you

a bump

to get the day started.

is it good for you, bad

for you,

who knows.

like the weather that opinion

varies. it changes

from day to day.

yes, it's an addiction,

a toxic plant with

inedible hard beans,

but crushed and boiled

in hot water

and

doctored up with some

cream and sugar,

well, it's okay.

is it a sin?

hell no. i save the guilt

for other vices.

let's have

one more cup before we go.
