What’s so good about being fast? Sometimes a little patience goes a long way, and a slow thing can be just what you need.

As ice, traffic and a giant wooden boulder all advance with a soothing inevitability, the poets invite us to see the beauty in the accretion of tea-stains in a teapot and the unwavering stare of a loris.
