No Matter Who Wins

Tea,
My friend
I can make
I have leftover from
The box they welcomed us with
When we moved into this accommodation,
Where we’re breaking from study for Monopoly
And the Yorkshire tea rations are especially lovely
When you’re used to whatever you usually have in
That you associate with stress of long nights completing assignments.

This says so much, you presented depth via a day of simplicity; let us break the routine, get out of our heads, and as children play, from simple rations make riches and your joy in DOING for someone you care for by creating a getaway day. No stupid human behaviors of greed, self-centeredness, achievement, abundance. Today we shall be human beings NOT human doings. I got all that out of your Etheree and am all the better for it. I appreciate how your mind and heart combine. CayCay
