Certainly Not Today

A poem about being me

Somewhere shortly before

The three days before today

I had loads of clean laundry

I needed to put away

And though that hasn't happened

There's one thing I can say

The piles keep growing smaller

As I draw from them each day

So I guess, in the long run

It will get done either way ...

But, certainly not today

Author's Note

A little confessional, as such

[Michael Sun Bear]

A tribute to procrastination, something I practice day in and day out. A good writer can turn into art the most mundane little matters of life, as you have just demonstrated.

[Desert Knave]

Thank you so much. I never used to be this bad at procrastinating, but now it seems permanent. ~Jim
