tea, a tranquilizer
Aug 27, 2017 · 1 min read
on a rainy day
in my boiling city
i take one moment from complaining about getting wet
and drink tea
i drink tea
because the feeling of the cool air on my cheek
juxtaposed with the steam rising from the tea
takes me back to the hills
i love that the steam fogs my spectacles up
so that when they finally clear
i can look at things afresh
and instead of sitting on a rock in the hills
i choose a step in college
or a roadside bench
or sometimes just a roadside
and sip my tea
along with all my anxieties
