Teacup

Artwork: Kittens' Tea Party - Walter Potter, c. 1871

i would
rather be
sipping tea
and resting
my weary
head.

i am
numb;
tired
out
by the
tedium.

come sit
awhile
with me;
amuse me
with idle
chatter...

make me
remember
that this
life
is still
worth living

regardless
of the
callousness
of
the world.
