give me

my coffee

an espresso
so

I can drown myself
in its bitterness

and I'll confuse myself
is it the coffee or my life?

I'll take a little cream in mine to smooth things over! Clever poem.

I like this little poem; it has lots of good things happening in it. That secod line is so clever right after the last syllable of espresso!
