the patient cat

the way
this lid is stuck on the carton
of cream,
unturnable, screwed
tight by some
machine,
sums up
nearly everything
i'm feeling
at the moment.
do i throw it across
room
in anger, or find the pliers
and screw driver
to pry
open the cap?
the cat on the counter
waits patiently
for my decision.
