The Coffee Pot

So much depends on me.
Well, I got nuthin' for ya!
You come dragging your sorry ass
in here every morning,
feet shuffling, crusty eyes, bed head, stank breath,
scratching yourself like a smelly ape,
looking for a pick me up.
Well, I got nothing today.
Nothing but yesterday's leftover, stale brew
and waterlogged grounds.
You're out of filters, sugar, and creamer,
and if you want anything at all from me,
YoDecember 8, 2005d, strong, bitter,
and reheated in the microwave.

--J. Hutton
