Abstinence from teaThose patrons of my time, they dissipate
Like so much steam from a cup of tea.  Dissolve,
Like sugar in a cup of tea; now that
Is the heart of it, if we dare to delve.

A perfect cup of tea is diamond clear;
So were they, but then the world became complex,
Or maybe this youth became less cavalier—
Thought more about, say, diamonds, less of, say, sex;

He took to abstinence.  Already he took
His tea without sugar.  He liked it hot
And red and cloudless:  five minutes on the clock.
Now tea would be a concept—unlike the pot,

Of plain white porcelain you can see through, set
Upon a shelf, kept dry, but seeming wet.
To a brilliant authorTo a brilliant author who begged the question

They are the masters of symbolic art,
Those who can understand a human brain,
But, in a misdeed of the very smart,
They blame the stupid for the smarts’ disdain.

It was a photo that I had to use but which pained me to sully. It came from clipart.com. I dreamed up the words myself.
