Coffee Stains

I’m sick of caked on coffee stains

In the mugs that I drink from

I’m sick of lights that are flickering

When I try to look in the mirror

Like a beard that can never grow

Feeling like an underripe kiwi

Like a clock that can never tick

I’m stuck on pause just for everything

Tired of waiting

For the right thing

Tired of watching

All things go wrong

I’m sick of road work that never ends

Blocking paths when I go walk

I’m sick of watching dogs grow old

As the years fly through in my neighborhood

Like a shoe stuck to chewing gum

Clinging on to every single step

Like a sign that I’m hoping for

But it never shows up when I want it to

Tired of waiting

For the right thing

Tired of watching

All things go wrong

Tired of waiting

For the right thing

Tired of watching

All things go wrong
