Granulated beauty

1 May 12 | Re: Retro sweetening

When you put sugar into tea, just rest the spoon gently on the tea’s surface. You will see the tea slowly soak into the sugar, crystal by crystal. It’s like watching a sepia tide come in, computerised, on an old-fashioned low-res display.

These quiet moments of everyday beauty traditionally call for a haiku; so I have written one:

Tea into sugar
Soaks one crystal at a time
Like an 80s screen.

As if tea-making needed to be any more of a spiritual experience.
