Poem, That's Not Coffee

---

Sweet Glass Prion
January 1, 2024

time to test the fear machine
see if automatic drip, in obscure mandate
will permit a sip of danger

place whatever in the basket
something bitter, close the casket
rise to mourning new

this brew is not for tasking
we do not ask, its provenance tasked
unmasking gavel substance

drink deep sir, malefactor
to of the deep be troubled, smitten
mewling from thy kitchens
