I went to sleep excited,

excited for my morning coffee,

coffee that wouldn’t be too bitter or sweet,

sweetness, however, dominated my coffee.

After about four hours of sleep,

sleep that was interrupted four hours too soon,

I left my bed and retrieved my coffee,

coffee that was too sugary to drink.

So here I stand at work,

at 6:21 in the morning,

tired and disappointed,

over my morning coffee.
