Tea

Chilly fall day
After school

A craving for tea
Not chai
Not coffee
First tea in years
Sweetened 
With maple
Syrup

Sitting in 
The ancestral 
chairs that
I inherited
And my dad
Inherited and
My kids
Will inherit

I think of 
cribbage
And 
Get Smart
Reruns

Fifteen two
Fifteen four 
Fifteen six
And a pair
Is eight

One day
my mum
Forgot

How

I hope
I never
Forget
