Blame Starbucks

An article on the internet says
a recent review of roughly 100 studies
notes that while caffeine enhances+
physical, cognitive and motor performance, 
boosts short-term memory, problem solving,
decision making and concentration,
it eliminates a key portion of the
creative process. Caffeine gives a coffee
drinker pinpoint focus, but it doesn't allow
the mind to wander.
And a recent study showed losing focus
helps inspire creative solutions.
It impedes the ability to go into deep sleep, 
which diminishes emotional intelligence, 
constructive thinking and the ability
to cope with stress,
It blunts the ability to solve problems 
and draw connections between
unassociated information.

Hold on a minute, while I refill my cup
and think of where I want to go
with the rest of this poem…
sip, ahhh! Roll my eyes a little…
Hmmm… hold on... um... err...
Nope, it just ain’t happening…
