Sweet Tea

The brusque middle aged connoisseur,
declared the baristas sweet-tea to be weak...
"Blacker! Stronger! Made with less water!
In all my years I've never! I've never..."

Offering to remake it with a special kindness
that, from across the room, over sweetened my tea,
she reprogrammed the roaring drink machine
to please him. 
to make him leave.
