The Patience Algorithm
âwhere time is steeped and endings brew
It didnât pour, it settled in,
A drink designed for discipline.
No burn, no rush, no brash delight,
Just slow convergence wrapped in light.
The vermouth was soft, a golden thread,
That stitched through thoughts not fully said.
Dry gin arrived with gears aligned,
A logic clean, a silence timed.
Green tea, cold-brewed, hushed and clear,
The sort of voice machines might hear.
A touch of honey, warm and plain,
The sweet you earn, not entertain.
You sipped. You waited. Time unspooled.
The ice spoke slow. The world was ruled.
And in that stillness, glass in hand,
You understood.
But not on demand.
