My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Coffee

This is a poem I wrote in 2020. I imagine it roughly to the tune of Crazy by Gnarls Barkley.


I wake up in the morning and it's still dark outside - yeah it's dark
But I know I've got to go to work
I climb out of bed, when I stand up my back creaks - so loud
The dog is already running around my feet
I get lost on my way to the bathroom in my own house - oh yeah
So tired I could pass out standing up
The clock is spinning ever faster but all I do is stare - at it, yeah
I can't remember what I'm supposed to do next
 
I need some coffee
I need some coffee
I need some coffee inside of me
 
I feed the dog, the cat, the iguana, hold it, I don't have a cat - no cat
Oh hell, I'll figure it out this afternoon
I put on my socks, my shoes, my coat, my purse and hat - oh yeah
I gotta go back inside to put on my shirt and pants
The keys won't open the car, oh, these are the house keys - house keys
Oh, I'm not sure this is my car
I make it safely to the drive-through, I only hit the curb twice - only twice
The employees ask me what I need
 
I need some coffee
I need some coffee
I need some coffee inside of me
 
The nice employees they help me, they tell me, they say
Sorry ma-am, this is an oil-change bay
You want the place next door
Oh dear
 
I need some coffee
I need some coffee
I need some coffee inside of me
