Orange Flower Tea

While I am drinking orange lotus tea
under crystal clear showers, I think
I could have been a fighter pilot
or an astronaut, to touch the cold dead moon dust.
I could have been a cop or golfer,
a facsimile man,
selling and replicating again and again.
I could have been closed
in a cube of grey,
but here I am,
cool on this hot hot day,
writing songs by a tree
under crystal clear showers,
drinking orange flower tea.
