How to be precise

     kurdish black tea with rose & cardamom from Murî ( rating: 3.6/5)  not usually a fan of astringent black teas but i liked how deep its sapidity still was, righteously balanced with the floral.                                                        Slicing ginger root yesterday urged me to consider why the verb "gingerly" is derived from the plant.

sometimes i think i'm in a room,
a room with four corners
the floor holds past
the ceiling holds future
a corner for recklessness
a corner for joy

owned by the corner to think
for the corner of joy is false
and hangs a permanent sign:
"this is but a fragile world,
HOUSES AND BODIES AND ROOMS
WE ALL ROT THE SAME."
