Another Cup of Coffee

After one cup of coffee,
I'm still sleepwalking
unable to feign a smile
or pick up my dragging feet.
So back to the commons,
back to the coffee station
where two pots sit idly by
waiting for next person
to get their next cup
just like me.
I wish I didn't need this,
having to join in the ritual
but I can't keep my eyes open
and naps aren't allowed.
So let's pour another cup
and try to wake up
and get through the
rest of the day.
