A couple of shakes
to spread the coolness
of the ice
cubes evenly around,
there is just
something about it.
The clean
refreshing sweetness,
soy milk
satisfying guilt
and caffeine meeting needs.
Imagining a small percentage
of money spent, making
it’s way to the small Indian
province that the tea
come from.
Like mother’s breast milk
to a new born baby,
so delicious and satisfying.
Too quickly it
is gone,
and I am left
with a cup half full of
ice, slightly coated with
soy milk
and Chai
as if to
taunt me.
