Caffeinated Ennui from Vince Thurmon…

Cheap Iced Coffee
Does this town need a third Dunkin Donuts? Who needs
that much mediocre coffee? Will it stop me from going?
How much coffee equals eight hours? How else will I
stay awake? What? I’m supposed to sleep?
Stay still a third of my life? If that’s the case, then why
are energy shots front and center at every gas station counter?
Is this too on the nose? Am I not getting to the point? Is there
something I had to say? How deep
can a poem written in a Dunkin Donuts be? Maybe bad coffee
produces bad poets.
