Stare into the coffee cup
Tendrils of steam stretch up
enchain you
Promise you sweet life, energy and release
As you are drawn in the steam thickens
Chokes
Darkens
Solidifies
Stretching up
Squeezing in
Through ears, nostrils, eyeballs
All those little crevices
to pull you down
Out of your self
Into the murky depths
Drink it
It will make you feel better
It will
Trust it
You are OK
If you drink it
And carry on
