"Not Coffee"

"Not Coffee"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

What am I drinking?

In this cup that I brewed

Not coffee for sure

I have not been this awake before

II

I now understand 

why I seem to stand still

while all around me

everyone like flies in a field

III

This crackling power

Unleashed in a cup

Maybe just maybe 

because it is my 3rd one.
