Roasted Grounds


we do what we can

to conform to society's mores

but the ache in my belly

belies the nausea I feel.


I'm getting used to bad coffee

cheap creamer, budget brands;

no longer the espresso with a drop of cream

which makes my belly balloon.


Will I care so much

about appearances when I'm blind?

Or will physical strength and fitness

power me into the grave?
