tak tak tak.
you say tak tak tak.
or sometimes it's a tch.
or a snap of your fingers.
but mostly tak tak tak
when it's our first meal of the day together,
and I haven't yet exhausted your patience.
that is something else to worry about.
about your patience and how long it will last.
tak tak tak you say,
when i worry about patience and its durations.
tch, you say when i chew with unfocused eyes.
you want a metaphor?
i'm the computer in the living room
and you're the child whose game this afternoon
is to stop the screensaver bubbles.
no bubbles.
at the first hint of bubbles, tak tak tak.
how long do i have till you get bored?
a year realistically. two if i'm lucky.
tch tch tch.
