Professors at tea




Learned men carnival
At teatime
Like dervishes
Wise men whirl
Giddy, dizzy, stoned
Drinking Dajeerling with
Well-bred sips
Fingers crooked 
With delicacy
Grave men
Party
Blasting vuvuzelas 
Standing on table tops
Like frenzied fans
Masks slip, fall
Among teaspoons and
Caramel treats
While a wide-eyed waitress
Gawks

Notes: Plastic trumpet blown at soccer games in South Africa
