Coffee
They sit at your house like gunslingers
well too bad I rent an apartment
you lost it pal try again later
black coffee
got a latte I was sipping on and it just hit me
no bite no vigor
just weak soft creamy syrup
yeah there’s wind in the sails but no catharsis
maybe that's what's wrong with kids these days
they got their iced coffee Frappuccino bull
no gumption
no Moxy
they want their cream and their sugar
maybe that's why I’m bitter
bitter coffee straight black like my soul
even the crema betrays its true intention
god the kids these days just wouldn’t understand
maybe its just over here in the states
I wonder if the kids in the UK still partake in tea time
guess I should read up on this or maybe just strike up
a conversation ha yeah right. Talk about on brand
nothing too relevant
I like the sound of that
makes me think of how poetry ought to keep itself
or at least the poems I write
need to read
need to go to the library
I need to feed once again on the blood of knowledge so that I might fill my veins
with more of this sweet sweet writing juice
