The teaspoon was wet
So she got more sugar than needed.
The tea towel was dirty
So the plates permeate the scent of old flesh.
Refresh the page,
Stay awake.
The teacup was chipped
So she got lipstick in ceramic.
The teetotaller was tipsy
So she knew she was dreaming.
Theming the narrative,
Comparative,
Stay alive.
The tea cart was wobbly
So she got stuck turning corners.
The teapot was lidless
So she poured only cold water.
Slaughter the syllables,
Edit the drivel,
Stay steeping.
