slight spike in the old glucose

it's a nine

dollar cup of coffee,

soy

milk,

four shots, 

whipped cream,

and

sugar.

a peppermint

spill

of some sort,

and flakes

of chocolate

on top.

i use the coupon

i got

for Christmas.

dropping change

into the tip jar.

one sip

and i'm shaking,

my liver

about to pop.
