I stayed up all night watching you sleep. Cup after cup of strong hot liquid aiding my vigil. Now too much coffee courses my veins, and, as I watch you prep for work, my heart randomly skips beats. The flutter is relentless. If I offered it to you right now, would you still eat it, so full of caffeine?
Would it be a quick swallow energy boost to get you through the day?
Or would you sup at it, recharging as you need?
Or possibly blend it with milk and ice for a refreshing afternoon pick-me-up?
Or would you do as I fear: place my heart in the grinder, toss the ground mush into a filter, and brew a pot of rich deep red to be taken to work and shared with your secretary?
