a late night cup of coffee

i purposely drink
a cup
of coffee around 7 o'clock at night,
knowing that i won't
be able to get to sleep
no matter how tired i am.
but, i need to stay awake.
i have things to thing about,
decisions to make.
i need to ponder and ruminate
on an assortment of issues.
i need to have a good long
talk with myself and figure
out what to do with the rest of my life.
at three a.m.
still wide awake, i realize that
this may take more than
one cup of coffee,
and it may take a month of nights.
