coffee tea and thee

coffee is deeper 
but tea is high
so tea takes milk 
but coffee wants cream 
or nothing at all, no sugar 
just pour
all serious bliss 
in morning caffeine 

but tea wants sugar 
or honey, I think. 
its wider tangs 
of flavor unfold 
and unfurl in milk, 
and that sweeter note 
just sweetens the symphony 
you sip 

as across from you 
the coffee is quaffed 
in scalding gulps 

by burning lips 

coffee's a drink 
for high tolerances 

tea has a taste 
for appreciators 
and acceptances.
