As I sip my bitter tea I stare beyond the ***** window at the dying land that I would call my home. Now I focus even closer at the window glass before me, at the winged ant that's trapped between the sheets. Should I tell her of mortality? Futility? Fragility? Or should I be content to let her ignorance remain? Is it best to let her live in fear or die without the knowledge why? I simply pour a small tribute of ice-cold bitter tea.

Bitter Tea
As I sip my bitter tea I stare beyond the ***** window at the dying land that I would call my home. Now I focus even closer at the window glass before me, at the winged ant that's trapped between the sheets. Should I tell her of mortality? Futility? Fragility? Or should I be content to let her ignorance remain? Is it best to let her live in fear or die without the knowledge why? I simply pour a small tribute of ice-cold bitter tea.
