My morning pick-me-up
Picks me up no longer.
Confined to brews robbed of their punch
I nervously sip my deflated decaf
My placebo affects me no more.
My heart no longer thumps as it attempts to break free of my ribcage
My anxiety no longer rules the morning as I race the other rats in our big, big cage.
No more danger of lap stains from slopping my cup of joe on its way to my mouth.
Instead
It's an herbal morning
A decaffinated freshly ground coffee bean dripped morning
All of the promise and none of the delivery
Ah, caffeine.
How I miss thee.
