Caffeine does not affect me
onmysixteenthcupofcoffee
it's the world that's speeding up.

It must be Tuesday someone tells me
which rings a bell down in the pantry,
breakfast will soon be served.

Fighting off temptation
even though it's early morning
trying to put the storm back in
the box.

These thoughts will fade away as
the day comes into play
unless I hear her say
come back to bed.
