Tea at Two

5 pm. tea-making.
storing a cup full for later,
'later' pushed to the back of the mind till
10 pm. dinner.
'later' is forgotten till
1 am. reheat tea,
lose yourself in the scribbling of the pen-
reheat tea again-
2 am. drink tea.
sleep.
repeat.

(because tea and poetry go unplanned, hand in hand)
