Bean

A single coffee bean can make a day
Seem fresh and clear, that was not so before.
It will clear out the cobwebs that can stray
Into the mind, and let that mind ignore
The primal, base frustration that creeps in
With waking at a time when it would sleep.
A single bean can make the heart begin
To pump, the limbs begin to more than creep,
The breath come faster to the lungs. All this
With but a single source, such a small thing,
Yet something therefore terrible to miss,
For all the benefits that it can bring.
What can I say therefore, in praise of you
That are to me not one bean, but a slew?
