Pre-Colonoscopy - Oct. 13, 2023

Gary Hunter

midafternoon and so far

I’ve had rooibos third eye chai

a brewed cacao from Ghana

and two Chinese greens


tea all dug out

from the back of the top shelf

old gifts and dusty purchases

never tried unopened


hot drinks to explore

for the palette

of a fluid feast

as I cleanse my colon

for a curious camera

tomorrow morning


this lonely time

for the taste buds

is the perfect time

to meet new flavors


maybe even a new friend
