Black Coffee

One more cup of coffee
I don't remember how many I've had
A typical morning
To get through this day without yawning
I need coffee to last
So I won't get, I can't get, sleepy
Another cup down the hatch
I am still writing, work must be done
I won't be sleeping anytime soon
A couple more cups a little past noon
Jittery me, sitting here writing for fun
Breaking only to ground beans for my coffee, black
   Into the night I write, as if it were day
   Awaiting another sleepless morning's fray
