That poem does just what Ms. Ryan would have it or maybe it was the sudden tropical rain cloud passing over head blowing air through the screen door confusing me, but I'll claim confidently that it was the former.
In any event, well placed in a world where patience as a word, much less as a virtue, has become as quaint as a doily.
