is sipping pu’erh tea
when I sit down
on the other side
of the world to join
them with a cup
of the same which
has come of course
all the way from China
we used to say
take a slow boat
to China as in I wish
someone would
set out on a gray day
like this the orange
trees blooming that
nostalgia in the air
to bow to one’s ancestors
one’s loved ones
and set off for China
all for a cup of tea
