Coffee Don’t Give No Wings

I have this dream that if I only
drink enough coffee
some switch in me will flicker to the on position
my eyes will open, my tie will straighten—
and maybe my allergies will go away—
But coffee can’t do that
it can’t make time go faster than it’s already goin’
it can’t turn morning into noon then afternoon
I could drink cup after cup, espresso shots all around
But still come out in the same spot that I’m in right now
