Rent, paid. 
Thus here 
I sit. Sitting here,
I wonder about clarity. 
What is the value
of being understood?
The trick is to feel
understood. 
If comfort is felt,
comfort persists.
Comfort consists
of viscous, consistent water
surrounding the airy body. 
Continuation abrogates
insinuation. Presence, given time,
manufactures the obvious.
That's why I'm paid up
and ready to 
wait.
