Cutting Back

For 8 and 50 years I have enjoyed
black coffee in the morning, with no ill
effect. But currently I can’t avoid
admitting that 8 cups are overkill.
Of late a racing heart has me annoyed,
and my left hand when typing is unstill.
My stomach isn’t bothered, but I mean
to try my mornings now with less caffeine.
