An addiction to coffee
Scorches your veins
Vision blurs
A door closes in the distance
A muffled cough covets
Lingering conversations

Several ants sprint toward a crumb
The air feels electrified
Average magnitude
Winged with chronic desolation
A whisper of a secret told in your ear

The walls appear to sag
The ground exhales
Four blank slates
Sweaty palms as you
Tighten the grasp of the cup
You hear someone arguing
As you bite your lip

The cup
Holding you within this reality
Nails piercing the cardboard
Forming half moon shapes

The cup begins to concave
Coffee oozes out of the spout
Steam brushes against your face
You squeeze harder
The cup sighs in defeat
A mess is created

You blow the hair out of your face
Disorientated and lonely
Pursing your lips
A raindrop slides across the window
Faint buzzing of a fly

Stepping over the splatter
Brown puddles
From the thunderstorm
You go buy another
To fuel your addiction
