You drink black coffee in the morning because black is your favorite and the taste matches the aroma, the color, your mood. It slinks to the back of your throat and it stings. You wince once. And you do it again. Over and over. You’re tired and all you can think of is sleep because sleep requires the least work out of everything else, including drinking coffee. But you pick coffee over sleep because it wakes you up from the heavy and dark slumber you’ve been in denial about being in all your life.
