Caffeine, copyright 2001 by Christopher Walsh
A shell, wrapped around the sleeper
Revved up, shot through, with fake power
Vibrating against what's within
Unable to touch the part of you
That really should be resting
(and already half-is) --
A drug-caused disconnect
Shown in too-bright eyes
And too-wide yawns.
