cafeteria teabags

d jon downs

sweetening
(five packets)
my caffeine i
watched him

sorting
(one-by-one)
that stack of
cafeteria teabags

[ 2002 ]

extracting
(growing pile)
those he found
most desirable

inserting
(greatest discretion)
them into his
middle-age pocket

and i thought:
"who the fuck would
steal a handful of
teabags?"
