Suffer Fools Gladly

One year my report said
doesn't suffer fools gladly
and this, I was led to 
understand was something
to do with impatience 
but I grew to enjoy how
the broadening details of this 
fleshed me out.

But to not suffer means you
have to be with the fools
too and be one as well,
to not suffer fools is to 
be around the same people
for long enough to feel
committed to decrying
their foolishness and if
you've been around that
long, you've most likely
let your guard down you
yourself and you've probably
said or done something you've
later regretted or perhaps
you've contradicted yourself,
several times, or become wrapped
up in some kind of blatant
hypocrisy and I think about the
utter conviction needed to
seem foolish and then also
the same for huffing out of 
a room and feeling like 
the energy is too much.
