Caffeine

The Coffee Shop

Its a quiet afternoon in the coffee shop. One solemn sleeper on hour, begging me for a potent cup of caffeine to prolong their ability to accomplish something, anything. Whether it be the repetitive chores they dread, or the uninspiring 9-5 they hate, or the hobby they chose to pursue this week until they get bored and pick a new one next week. They all want the same thing. The bitter, brain-buckling drug. I don’t blame them. Im sipping on my third cup of the day, speculating if I’m addicted or just bored. I look up from the steaming mug in hopes of getting paid to do more than just sit here. It’s not looking good.
