A short one about waiting for a kettle to boil

[Scott98]

the kettle takes exactly as long as it always has
but today, for some reason, I actually noticed

steam curling up like it's thinking about something
before it decides to just let go

some days the smallest wait
is the only stillness you get

[Eagle48]

The steam curling up like it's thinking about something before it lets go is such a lovely, patient bit of observation
