Their State Of Emergency And Mine

________________________________________________________________________________________________

The torrential rain
forecast for today
—January 5, 2023—
warranted the 
Governor of California
declaring

But my personal emergency
would have been
having 
no Starbucks Coffee
today

Therefore,
at 4:45 this morning,
I braved the elements
(the pre-torrential rain)
and got the caffeinated medicine
that neuters 
my anger and frustration

    Needing caffeine to calm down qualifies you
    as a freak of nature.

      How does it affect your sleeping patterns?

      I get what amounts to a normal amount of sleep
      BUT it is very discontinuous...
      Napping has been part of my lifestyle
      since 1971, many years prior to
      my Starbucks addiction
