Diet Life
It fizzes in the silence Manned by invisible pilots The bubbles zip to the top They merge and fizzle and pop The only sound in the room is my soda And it wants drunk As bad as I want the day to be over The sugar isn't working I just noticed it's caffeine free Someone slap me Keep me awake and working on this wording Aluminum and Aspertame I take a sip and hope It isn't eroding my brain Lending to the drain That started when I first sipped Phenylalanine I can't pronounce it but I can drink it I know what I feel but I can't think it The metal tab looks up at me Inanimate but expectantly No calories, caffeine free
