End of Train Journey

I got back
exhausted
not knowing what was black
and what was white

you handed me coffee
black
and said
"no sugar"

I said
"fuck man
don't you know
that I take sugar?"

you said "no
we've never
seen you here
before"

So I wandered off
into that black night
sweetened
only
by saccharin and street light
