Riding suburban train
to the concrete hollow
you call an apartment
and also your home
you cling
to an Xtra large Wawa coffee
hoping the coffee
kicks your ass awake
you’ll make past Bridesburg
caffeine slowly waging war
with the flood of alcohol
a few more stops
don’t fall asleep
suck down the caffeinated juice
Croydon on the horizon
We’ll get to our stop
We’ll sleepwalk home
Xtra Large Wawa coffee
draining ever so quickly
but Croydon on the horizon
we’ll make it home again
