Learning to Live

 

A boiled teabag,


a pruned raisin,


soaking in water


up to my chin.



Lyrics drifting,


smoke swirling,


a lit joint,


I am learning. 



A steamy serenity,


a cup of earl grey,


all the stress


kept at bay. 



Try not to sleep


while you soak


or the comfy bath


may be where you croak.
