Some things take a while

Others happen in piles

Instant heat is a sense

Truth is - it's a slow blend



For boiling points evolve

In times relative to the role

Each element and each soul

Has their own level of toil ...



On the part of things, it's fixed

But for folks - it's a curve of tricks

Which each one of us can bend

Always changing, perhaps - to end



- Tristram
