Entropy of Tea

Entropy of Tea

 

Some leaves are flushed to the bottom

With the first pouring in of boiling water

Some suspend for a while on the surface

Reluctant to get down as doomed

Some rise and fall and rise at times

And eventually sink in slow motion grace

All to make a lucid fragrant cup of tea

Drink the cup of tea while it is hot

Or else it gets cool and cold. Wait not

For the natural entropy to take place

Life runs out its fire of desire at glacier pace
