# One Foot at a Time then Tea

*by Rhonda Weiss, Leeds, NY*

One foot at a time then tea  
For a minute I forgot I had to put my pants on  
I just stood and stared at the chair in front of me  
And couldn’t figure out why  
And was about to start walking with just my underwear  
And then I looked down with the aha moment  
And then I blanked  
And put my pants on and did not acknowledge  
This probably didn’t happen aberration  
And went to the kitchen  
To set the table for my anticipated cup of tea  
And went to the refrigerator for some milk  
And ended up carrying blackberries to the table  
And then wondered if I had drunk the tea and  
Had been understandably preoccupied with I can’t remember what  
During which time I must have consumed that tea  
And I was fine with this preferred scenario  
Until I realized I was still thirsty  
So I poured myself a second cup  
And it tasted almost as good as the first
