only three more hours

i know
i should be more patient,
but i'm not.
i set the timer
on the oven,
and peak into the pot
of stew.
only four more
hours to go.
i pace the room, looking
at my watch.
should i add more
carrots,
more salt?
should i turn the oven
up?
should i make a peanut
butter
sandwich
to hold the cravings off.
or just suffer,
and wait it out?
