This morning I told myself, I will write a poem today, But I ended up just hanging out, With my friend named procrastinate. 8:30am I was awakened, Rolled over and saw my notes, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 10:00am Lounging around, It’s my lazy day, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 11:30am Just finished showering, Poetic thoughts ran through my mind, While the water ran through my hair, But now that I’m out, I’m busy, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 12:30pm My dad made me listen, To a sermon with him, I almost wanted to write a poem, But I was preoccupied with Dr. Thompson, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 1:45pm Money feels good in my hands, But first I gotta do all this addition, Time cards **** Poetry? Nah, not yet. 3:00pm I haven’t eaten anything today, I’m starving, Maybe because my refrigerator is empty, I haven’t gone shopping in four weeks, I should pay the grocery store a visit, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 5:45pm Tacos sound good, I have no clue how to make them, But I guess I’ll give it a shot, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 6:45pm Dang, that tasted awesome, I should probably make something Gross so I don’t let these cooking skills Get to my head, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 7:00pm It feels so good to sit down, My new favorite show, Falling skies, Is awaiting me on amazon prime, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 11:00pm Four episodes in, I’m officially addicted, But I’ll let my brother use the TV now, While I pass out on the couch, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 11:15pm Crap… I was gonna write a poem today, What the heck am I supposed to write about? Nothing serious is on my mind, Depression, abuse, peace and war? The only peace I’m thinking about is sleep, Poetry? Nah, not yet. 11:17pm I guess I’ll let my eyes open, It might be time to write a poem, Not sure what to write about, I could write about writing a poem or whatever, Poetry, Yeah, maybe now. 11:30pm I’m done, Here’s your fricken poem, Matthew, Can I go to bed now?
