- Description:
- Text of poem: PATIENCE AS AN ART INVISIBLE // patience has nothing to do with / time / and little to do with / waiting / patience is getting ready quietly / it is routine / that disappears / like naked branches / noticed in November / rendered commonplace / by March / patience is just that loss / of salience / it is the dark that keeps / stars from touching / and days from running / one into / another / it holds lifetimes / in suspension / so we die before we're born / and are born before we die / patience is what happens / as we gamble / through the middle / it's the moment / when the dice have left / the hand / but haven't hit / the table // Franklin Abbott. Verso of card inscribed "Cal, Happy 1990! Frank."
