The day's work

being part of the solution--
     the real one--
is going to take patience like
dinosaur skin
and perseverance
     sensitivity and wisdom
     in how and when to play
     the game.
there will be much more advantage taken,
naivete exploited,
error made in earnest, yet...

yet. still.

we have come as the party is
winding down. we've come
for the hard part.

we've come just in time, i feel.
