Tea Break

Sitting in the window with a peek-a-boo view of the ocean

Sipping the most delicious chai, I remember brilliant friendships.

Is it the magic from the tea or the sweet jasmine air that makes

Memory roll to daydream as I wonder which neighboring house would best suit you?
Before I call to ask if I can borrow an avocado from your tempting tree,

The continual beeping of a nearby excavator reminds me of the reality.

I take a last sip and now… back to work!
