4am Haiku

Each pre-dawn wake-up,

My patience wears thinner still;

A gift from my kids.

*

Virtue

It’s not that

I have

Patience

For you and your

Nonsense,

It’s

More like,

I am just

Really

Really

Really

Good at

Hiding the fact

That you

Are

Standing

Dangerously

Close to my

Last Nerve

And you do

Not

Want to be standing within

Arms-reach

When it finally

Snaps
