Extract From "14 Cages"

The Tea Ritual.


You're making tea again;
Another useful Sunday chore,
Keeping the metaphors from the door,
And I keeping writing lines you'll never read.

I'm drinking tea again;
Another little ritual we have,
Another way of grabbing moments;
Of silence between moments of silence,
The science of avoidance?

And we're having wine again;
Another way to numb us,
And get the mood between us,
Raised somehow,
However futile.
