Glancing oh-so casually
across the mismatched coffee tables
the caffeine directing my body
onward and
WIDE AWAKE
WIDE AWAKE
WIDE AWAKE
Frayed clothes and hairstyles
and the furniture--
don't forget the furniture.
And frayed music
playing-directing my eyes
across the mismatched coffee tables
holding my coffee and skin
So I'm
WIDE AWAKE!
EyEs OpEn
EyEs OpEn!--OpEn!--OpEn!
glancing around and up and
within the leopard-print sky.
"Beware of the dog"
and the tiger--
who sits on its throne of biscotti--
Eyelids plastered BacK and BacK and Back
and forever BacK.
The payphones ripped from the wall
but still usable.

God, I love my coffee.
