The Wake

After much thought
Much weight on each side
A life decision was made

I would not drink coffee anymore

Instead of percolating
I would be bound to a life of steeping
Loose leaves were my bean
And the spirit had gained precedence
The body was free

And I would caffeinate my bloodstream
With much more potent solutions

Vodka
Coffee liqueur
Milk
And a splash of Coke

I was on my way to the spiritual and bodily freedom that Siddhartha
had only dreamed of
I was on my way to the whole farm co-op
Viva consumptive revolution!
