Chocolate biscuits
And a cup of tea
Can mean so much more
Than their nutritional value
Or semantic alone.
Im sorry, out of 4,
I ate 3.
Chocolate biscuits
And a robust earl grey
Silky milky chocolate
Smoothed over a crumbly
Coordinate plane.
What kind of form can I graph
In a house that’s not my own
On chocolate biscuits
That make me feel found
Yet unknown
Chocolate biscuits
And tangy earl grey tea leaves
Two cups
Steaming
Cooling
Drinking
Gone
Earl grey tea
Would you like some more?
Perhaps I would,
But I’m not quite sure
That I want the tea maker to get up
For another second,
Not even for more.
