The Empyrean

1

<
       man in the black overcoat
approaches their table.  At first,
Edward and Jenny are glad
for the tea.  Water gets quite
old after awhile.  But soon
other things take priority
and they leave both the tea
and the Diner as quickly
as their little legs can take 
them.
	 Jenny yearns for more; but
Edward couldn't care less.  She
keeps going to the groc'ry
and buying exotic teas
from China & India.
They're never the same (desire)

  Wake UP!
  Wake UP!
  Wake UP!
		  (weeping)
		  (crying)
		  (wailing)

  Edward resigns to dreaming.
  It's all the excitement he
  can handle (the wussy oafe).
