i crave the abuse of hot coffee
warming my insides
and setting fire to my brain
already on amphetamines.

together they ride the chariot
lead by me-the workhorse
yoked by the weight
of the world.

their whip lashes me to action
for without it
i am nothing
but
futile

until the yoke is lifted
i must keep fueling
my one & many
addictions
that set fire to my insides.
