Tedium
Tedium settles
in,
Settling upon
the self,
A blanket of
dumb waiting.
At the heart of
tedium
A hard vague
core of awareness exists,
A little light
shining amidst a world of dumb waiting.
Tedium will not
completely pass, but
It will change.
A nurse will
come, a caregiver will appear, and
The structure,
the texture of tedium will change.
