Patience seems

Patience seems

the fool’s

favorite game

and I

the fool

a                              wait,

so it seems, for those who have

will say                   it’s well

worth the wait,

the weight stressing the seams

seemingly              tripple1sewn

by threads irrelevant.

the rest

seems

 irrelevant

too

because                                 exploding

is not an option

but the greatest desire

and

fuck it all

break

it

up

who wouldn’t rather            see

the colors

than the whole

blast of light

blinding eyes

in the      middle    of night

so it seems

even

with eyes closed

TIGHT

the light                  breaks

through

my eyes

drip

and stain               a face

pocked with volcanic shame

who would love

to hate

to burst

this

little

bubble.
