Ding! Another day.
Instant coffee into a cheap cup.
Stir in some Splenda. Fill it up.
Terri is particular. Same way, every day.
Rent due.
AC broke too.
Coffee up! They filter in all day.
Time entered. Sun’s going down.
Injured foot hurts like a fresh crown.
Ohh sleep! you sweet release from sorrow.
No time for her novel. “There’ll always be time tomorrow.”
Author's Note: Inspired by the hard workers of Kribi Coffee - Chicago, whose coffee is decidedly not instant, but fantastic, and served as my office for the day. #supportlocalbuisness
