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
