Nikki Giovanni

i said: give me some coffee
it doesn’t have to taste too sweet;
i like it when it’s bitter
but not too, bitter, you know

and he said: it’s got to be bitter,
that’s the way of the world,
there’s no cream here, or sugar, or

so i said: give me the bitterest coffee you have
i can sweeten it myself

i am an inspiration
