Once steaming hot
It shrinks to cold last gulp
More bitter less invigorating
An afterthought a chore
To finish
You do

Whether you made it yourself or the effort of others, the coffee before you, once a magic elixir, comes down to a tepid puddle in the cup. Things to do people to see, you gulp it down, barely tasting. So you go.
