bottling wine
to free up a demijohn
summer fruit

I worry about tea;
about if I've left it too long
and it's gone cold.
Then relieved to discover
I didn't forget after all
and I drank it entirely
(except for the dregs,
which may contain tea leaves
like the ones I drank in childhood,
because "tea bags taste like paper"
according to my dad)
but the I worry anew
for I do not have a cup of tea.
Time to put the kettle on
and why would I ever go to America
when they don't have kettles?
