The boiling of the kettle is
Ample time
To prepare the bag and cup.
The toddler only learns to
Wriggle
Once we have perfected care
Of its still self.
Nail polishes take their
Beautiful time
To dry – allowing that minute
Of rest.
The credits
On a cinematic film
Allow enough time for even the slowest of guests
To leave with background music.
Toast Toasts
Leaving time for butter
And a knife.
Plenty of time
In plenty of time.
