Poetry Friday on Caffeine

A New Lifestyle by James Tate the whole poem is here A New Lifestyle People in this town drink too much coffee. They're jumpy all the time. You see them drinking out of their big plastic mugs while they're driving. They cut in front of you, they steal your parking places. . . . . . .They're so serious about their coffee, it's all they can think about, nothing else matters. Everyone's wide awake but looks incredibly tired. * * * * * * * * * * * I am wide awake and incredibly tired. When it comes to caffeine, I'm serious about my tea. And my Dove Dark Chocolate. I've had plenty of both in the **gasp** TEN days since I blogged! What can I say: Lit. Conference weekend, report cards (grading, grading, grading), Saturday conference, Sunday leadership retreat (another weekend -- poof -- gone), powerpoint to create and present, physical therapy, etc., etc., etc. But I think my head is finally above water. It's good to be back.

    I could give up coffee and even tea if I had to, but dark chocolate? Never!
