we apperceive in caprice, cirrus clouds
of weathering draft visions in assent
political hiked climates, forecast crowds
allows a connotative diffident
assimilation, nature we augment
near hearts, ‘the waiting room’ where we accept
it when a stranger forces our consent
we ‘wait outside’, immutable precept
providing no capacity, concept
of raising a civil voice (do not yell!)
at the reception, uncivilly kept
what’s the typical wait time? (time will tell?)
though we knew this watch was wrong in our chest
waiting for reception, we did not rest
