PATIENCE, n.
Not the virtue. The structural condition of a Sunday morning
that has decided not to become anything else.
The carpet's willingness to be sat upon.
The dog's ear, half-raised, then reconsidering.
A sausage roll's commitment to remaining uneaten
until someone, eventually, is equal to it.
The window, which has looked like this
for as long as anyone has been watching,
and will continue.
