"Black Cup Coffee"
By Roger Smith
I stare into my coffee
What do I see?
Dreams I should be having
The android who awakened me
Its darkness deep inside
Of longings to be free
Inside the regular mug
Today a different view
The enemies of this city
And what I should do
Ideas floating away
Like its stream that I blew
The reflection of my own
Are those really my eyes?
In the deep recesses
I only find cries
The children who once lived
And believed all those lies
A stirring of flavour
The end always stronger than the start
Wonderings of why this must be
The contrary beatings of my heart
Faster now than ever before
Because I have played my part
Waves forming in the cup
A rumbling from outside!
Bottles shatter--my favorite wine!
In the coffee I cannot hide
Yet my ears pierce with every one
Of an ugly mechanical stride
The glasses are dropped
Readied to rid the city of this slime
A new rumble enters the scene
Certainly the moment is prime
And the world shall hear the shout
BIG O! SHOWTIME!
