all the coffee in the world
could not dislodge your personality
you needed someone to talk to about it but you did not want to
and so the world learned to live
with you

even steven
they don’t really know what they
are doing
forgot all the things you said
to help them understand
the sun will shine again
your honey will love you
through anything
and when you put on your uniform
and go to work
all will even out
like cream stirred into
coffee

nevada morning
24 floors up encircled by a mountain range
dipped in snow
i was looking down on the streets by
the old Cal Neva. drunks and construction workers
walking the streets. cold dawn
you were watching bad chad on the tele
hunting junkyards for a contracted car
i stretched yawned tumbled on
down to the lobby 4 my first cup of coffee
time to weld a chassis to this frame
and get back in
the game

upon waking. tuesday morning
tuesday morning
wake me with flashing pixelated light
blast me with heat from a gasoline engine
drop a single sugar donut into my belly
float me on a river of coffee
black. let them play with words
if they want

whip
the barista and i have a moment. Lavazza café. hotel lobby. she can see i can see she’s not thrilled to be working over the holidays and i feel for her. all around us people are playing. a few of them winning a lot of them drinking some of them smoking. most of them losing. she asks me again. changes my heart on it. push the valve. soft top my mocha with whip

Vegas 12.26.2022
Vegas. 5am. i take the elevator 20 floors down to the lobby. slot machines. whoever on the last dime. an old man smoking a cigar. a young woman with a pained expression. a dog under her arm. pulling for 7 bars on 5 lines. the dog licks foam off the lid of her coffee.

wren
you stole my heart
but i am stubborn and do not stand for thieves
signaled by the wren’s song
with a final kiss i took my love
and left you
waking up 500 miles away
all my belongings in my car
drinking coffee
falling for a sunrise
wrapping my arms around
change

dead of morning
one forlorn morning
zombies closing in
central market was depleted
the many filters black and wet
with grounds
the town ran dry of coffee
we the people cannot believe
throwing manuscripts out windows
we follow and retrieve

grind.s
they awoke battered by terrors
a humming heartbeat of a creature
by one eye vigilant of anything
moves speaks
coffee before work
let the emotions run through the grinds
summoning any god to
get them through

zomby warhead
we all got a hundred problems
and i got mine. zombie on the road
coffee seeking missiles capped with warhead aches
too early for the sun and so
we exist in darkness
