Too Much Coffee

coffee
I had two much coffee
This morning
Three cups
Pure coffee

Not the usual heavily loaded cup
Part decafe part herbal tea
Concoction with turmeric,
cinnamon and nutmeg
My usual go-to cup of divine bliss,

I feel the jitteriness
The talkativeness
The beginning perhaps
Of a migraine attack,

I keep telling myself
My limit is two cups
Half decafe, half coffee
Half herbal tea mix,

More than that
I go up the highway
To incipient madness
And nightmares.
To haunt my dreams,

In short
I had just too much
coffee
