Starbucks - Newtonville 0907
It's an upscale Methadone clinic
Walk into it's mayhem and snake lines
The orderlies -
some fresh from their paramilitary Barista training
Dispense attitude along with their Venti Mochiatas
The elderly nurse seems more bemused
Beats sitting home alone
The doctor mans the Serious Equipment
Whipping up frothy amphetimines in her sleep
We, the addicts, queue up for our concoctions
Late for work already
But certain to make up for Lost TIme
After this impending infusion
