While The Tea Steeps

Things to do while your tea steeps…

Text your mother.

Call a friend.

Feed your cat. Pat your pup.

Hop into pajamas. Skim the news.

Brush your teeth. Comb your hair.

Read a poem. Write a poem.

Hum a tune. Sing a tune. Botch the lyrics.

Jump and dance. Dance and jump.

Plan the day. Forget the plan.

Make a list.

Quit a job.

Order a pizza.

Prep the honey. Cut the lemon.

Begin to daydream. Call in sick. Continue to daydream.

Fix a plate. Wash a plate. Break a plate.

Slice an orange.

Peel a pear.

Start a book. Close a book.

Fall in love.

Save a buck. Save the date. Save the world.

Forget the tea.

Remember the tea.

And if that all fails – or better yet, if you’d like – simply sit and wait.
