Decaffeinated (7 days and counting)



Lacking
the buzz
my body seems intent
on relaxing
which i dread
as idleness,
lack of alertness,
numbness,
but
the irony
seems to be
my other senses
are free.

I hear other people's voices
children's tiny, little noises
distant traffic
mothers in their daily panic
conversations around me
all of a sudden
forced outside my thoughts
I feel the sun stinging
and I am exactly
where I am: outside
