The second coffee always makes a statement;
you’d be sinner or saint in whichever redaction
ripostes that muted reaction to how you’ve felt;
if you don’t care to undress its sensation there
may be ad lib extenuations and perhaps a 3rd
serving if you need more evidence; no - it isn’t
an addiction - well - not until the 6th sugarless
brew glistens blissfully on your tongue & lips -
But by then you’ve won accolades the tru blue
coffee imbiber serenades; now what was it we
were about to do - there was a plan before th’
caffeine escrow bloomed into its proselytising
promotion of crusades against the egocentric
instant coffee drinker - with such fey modesty
