P is for… Procrastination
~ by Laurel Regan
what must it feel like
to be someone
who
faithfully tackles
life’s mundane tasks
promptly
diligently
responsibly
making hay while the sun shines
instead of
postponing, ignoring
pushing yet another annoying burden
out of the way
onto a crowded back burner
easily distracted by shiny things
and the prospect of something
(anything, really)
more fun
more interesting
not absolutely required
i’d love to investigate
but right now i’m stuck inside
on a sunny spring weekend
last-minute, eleventh hour
in the company of
an assortment of income tax forms
and a bulging cardboard box
full to messy overflowing
with
unsorted
unfiled
unorganized
potential deductions
if i ever find out
i’ll let you know
Are you participating in any April challenges?
Please share!
