patience.
" Patience never wants W o n d e r to enter the house
because Wonder is a wretched guest
It uses all of you
but is not careful with what is
most f r a g i l e or irreplaceable
If it breaks you
it shrugs and moves on
Without asking
Wonder often brings along d u b i o u s friends
doubt, jealousy, greed
Together they take over
rearrange the furniture in every one of your rooms
for their o w n comfort
They speak odd languages
but make no attempt to translate for you
They cook strange meals in your heart
that leave odd tastes and smells
When they finally go
are you happy or m i s e r a b l e ?
P a t i e n c e
is always left holding the broom. ”
