Tea for Two

You can share it in the Sahara.

Or on an Englishman’s patio.

A waft of steeped leaves

Makes a nose twitch in anticipation.

A gentle douse of sugar

For those with a sweeter tooth.

A dollop of milk for others

Who grew up with different traditions.

Any which way

It allows a conversation to brew

And nothing is purer than that.
