Smell of Coffee
Coffee shakes me out of my pirate ship.
Knocking me into the sea, without benefit of plank.
My hazel eyes pop open; I am smelling it. Right?
My imagination laughs; she can make me taste it too
If she wants to.
We both know it.
I try to regain my former cozy sleep position.
Smell of coffee is overpowering; there is no way to get comfortable.
I hate my imagination right now.
I can taste coffee blend in my mouth!
I wander into the kitchen where my husband is having his third cup.
He avoids my eyes, knowing what I am like before I get to at least my second.
