Coffee is bitter like
stomach acid burns
when bile rises up
from god's laughing throat.
He who woke up the sleepers.
Those who dream in paradise.
Dreaming with unseeing eyes,
serene smiles, bleeding, breathing,
competing for conscious time.
Awake to this stinging feeling, like
teething, skin peeling, ears ringing;
no sound, no silence, ambient fuzz.
Let me live in a dream.
Let my thoughts blur into
one.
