I’ve replaced my morning coffee
with a cup of oolong tea.
Plain oolong. Oolong with lemon.
Go-getter coffee that I drank for work
replaced with tea, for contemplation.
Oolong with florals. Oolong with vanilla.
I drank tea as a child, came to coffee
as an adult, never really liked the taste,
needed caffeine against chronic exhaustion.
Is it true that coffee was never really me?
I was born in the year of the Wood Dragon.
Now I drink oolong, black dragon tea.
