...According to the "Anxi" theory, oolong tea had its origin in the Anxi oolong tea plant, which was discovered by a man named Sulong, Wulong, or Wuliang.

Another tale tells of a man named Wu Liang (later corrupted to Wu Long, or Oolong) who discovered oolong tea by accident when he was distracted by a deer after a hard day's tea-picking, and by the time he remembered to return to the tea it had already started to oxidize.

Soho London -
catching my fancy a bamboo
box of oolong

a small bamboo box
in a dimly lit store
one grey August day

grey days of August -
eventually sunshine
ah that Beatles song

song of museums
art and must have chinese tea -
vacation memoirs

TIME OUT
first snowflake, the front door slightly ajar
a howling wind, i curve into my conscious self
Santa his cherry cheeks, mall decor delights
a familiar face oh, but no smiles in cold weather
hot chocolate, cinnamon sprinkled marshmallows
subway passengers, head scarved coat wrapped
gifts in gift boxes, no extra paper wrappings
relatives, names etched in each post card sent
busy bees phone to say, see ya next time
numbers dates flights, airport signs and waves
three syllables at Arrivals Counter, returning
in the reality of greenness, hankering for home
