Stultification

It's nothing, I suppose
a passing comment -
words meant half in jest

Unknowingly not knowing
and shown to be so
despite otherwise efforts

a sigh, not at all
what we thought
next to nothing, really

how long can one hold out
on coffee from a machine
or even the expensive kind

my dear friend,
everyone's days
are numbered - you're not alone

that last stanza is so telling
sometimes we need reminding
thank you
