When we were so new
and I wanted to impress
we drank our tea green.
Having no money
I collected the leaves
of arab peppermint.
To celebrate we
put fresh red monardia
in our sparse white cups.
Lapsang Souchong was
eagerly drunk even though
it was a mystery.
Unexpectedly
when we had become older
Assam surprised us.
Children are like teas
to be appreciated
when age catches you.
