Freedom

I’ve finally found the way to break coffee addiction within a week or two without budgeting three days to lie quivering in a corner. And it’s not what you’d expect. The reason the Fool can’t even cut back from four coffees a day is that the least he can order is a small, which he must then drink in its entirety rather than waste any of the precious fluid. But the Wise Man begins his day with a large thermos of espresso. Then, whenever the headaches, mood swings or hallucinations begin, he serenely takes one swig and puts it away again. And the demon of the bean lies and gnashes his teeth in the outer darkness.
