Post Consumer-Fibre Cup Sleeve

Coffee and resource exploitation

I pump black sludge

like the heart beat

of a corroded oil well

giving me the same fake energy

and addiction

It tells me something of this fiction

The friction between what we believe

and can achieve

for now it falls short of our needs so we

feed on caffeine

occasionally nicotine

Hoping the latter will soon become obsolete

like the tar spilling, still,

into our streams.
