Tea at Starbucks
...there's a Haiku here somewhere...

As for 'two Awake teabags in a venti cup. At some Starbucks (and I can tell you which ones exactly if you're interested) they fetch you a cup of hot water and you take the tea bags out of the little rack there by the cash register and put them in yourself. No no no no no no no NO! It is critical that the steaming hot water gets poured directly over the teabags. And then, you pay, you survey the chocolate covered Graham crackers (did you know that Graham crackers were originally marketed as a product to dis-incline youngsters from mastrubation? It's true!), you dawdle, you look at the headlines on the New York Times. You leisurely make your way over to the fixings station. First the sugar. Just a touch. Tilt the cannister and as the sugar flows, count to four. Enough. Then the milk. Take a langourous moment, your last, before you add the milk. The milk, of course, cools the water, however slightly, and this is basically the end of the brewing. It's the final step. The denoument.

And enjoy.
