Coming Down from Coffee

from Demos 2016​-​2017 by Shit Whitman

/

lyrics

Still feeling tense, I’m on edge
like afternoon dry mouth,
or the stench of coming down from coffee
it will never relent
until I surrender to the scent
and perch my soul upon your shelf once again,
my head feels warm like when
I stop a jog to catch my breath
and reject this carbon dioxide
or stay in bed, and replace the base with nitrogen
then, I’ll be okay
to face the day with a soporose straight face
a sensation that’s sold on the streets

what begins as a bean, washed clean,
un-dampened, tampered, and is then steeped and
soaked in water boiling,
all this toiling, just to soil the roast
for a dose of what it means to now feel "in control"
yet inconsolable about the slow drip from the ceiling
and I’d rather not be petulantly anxious or antsy
but in silence, even breathing slowly
really makes me mad
