Coffee like guilt
Coffee tastes like guilt
but it’s so hot, it melts
away the layers of belief
until I see them standing naked, fraudulent and faking, lying through ugly teeth and laughing.
Coffee thick as silt
been sitting.
Cooled off, ears ringing, short nap, been waiting to understand so long that it’s twice as strong in half the dose.
Coffee tastes like guilt and stings the tongue of the liar who professed to be able to afford it and not to need it, even decaf leaves something filled.
And I wonder if I really love it or if I just want to consume, I wonder if I really love at all or if I just want to consume and I wonder if my thoughts look dark to you
dark as coffee
thick as silt.
