A Second Patiently

A patient second

is a dream, with only the speed of a shutter

fast enough to linger a second into patience.

For the laments of the single pixel

who knows he's too small

for those impatient seconds

can illuminate proudly his own

fraction of a millimeter,

for that's all he has to call home.

And he smiles

when those giants of people hovering over him

hesitate before moving on,

sweeping their eyes just once more over the photograph,

squinting their eyelids into focus, and leaving all behind for a second,

a second patiently.
