An Ode: Bubble Tea
Feb 19, 2022
You wonder how sweet love is
until you find yourself sick of the pearls
you’ve ever known to consume
while a wave rests on your tongue.
Sometimes, all you have left to live through
another day is a few dollars
and some change to grab
a cup of milk tea.
The standard portion
fills your thirst.
You love that your throat remembers
what it means to swallow a rhythm
Thank you for reading!
