is the lightning-strike

urge to purge

yourself of patience

when others see things

differently.

it pierces

the peace

like the unrelenting

anxious squeal

of a white-hot steaming

tea kettle.

imperious

pressurized

percolating

petulant,

demands your

perfect compliance,

yet

shatters to shards

‘neath the crush

of questioning

its teetering

tribal

duty-bound

logic,

& myriad

false

assumptions

Left

onto Impatience

Right onto

Intolerance Road
