Eighteenth Cappuccino

I sit in a café bar at midnight
Drowning down my eighteenth cappuccino
Spellbound, I watch the cars
Zoom by outside the window, the red lights trailing,
I’ve been wired for thirty-six hours
Haven’t slept since Tuesday
Tucked into the darkest corner
Pretty sure no one sees me
At 12:05 this night
A drunk stumbles in from a down-town club
Still waving a beer in hand
His friends order him some black coffee
Pop a cigarette between his dry, thin lips
He sings and he stutters
He dances and he trips
Lost and blinded in his haze of happy elixir
While I’m wired and on my eighteenth cappuccino
The drunk guffaws and spits and clops around the café
A chair tips over, then a table
There goes the third shattered coffeepot
The drunk collapses beside me,
Face inches from mine
Hey, I thought I couldn’t be seen!
A demonic smile and stale breath
Asks me, “How you doing, babe?�
“I’m wired and on my eighteenth cappuccino.�
He sneers and licks my cheek
His slimy and moldy and perverted tongue
Dragging across my cheek
He died at 12:15 this night
Got his skull bashed in and smashed to
A pulp
With the empty mug from my eighteenth cappuccino
I haven’t slept since Tuesday
And I’ve been wired for thirty-six hours

Ha! never poke a coffee addict before their morning wake-up cup, and definitely not after 18 cups. Do you have to be a coffee fiend to understand and appreciate this poem? No. But if you want to feel the psychotic twitching pulsing through the veins like nervous electricity, Yes! A very, very dark, funny cautionary tale for both imbiber and unwelcome Lothario alike. Caffeine junkies on line applaud you!

i remember nearly quitting coffee of all sorts awhile ago, but somehow the flavor always stays - and something random (like the disgusting drunk licking) always ends up happening. i love this, reminds me that there's never a dull moment! ;0)
