(20 minute poetry)


Destination procrastination,
Unplugged I shrug off daylight hours,
though barely half awake I'm more than sound asleep.

Talk's cheap but costs the earth for those
who silent since their birth can only sit and watch the world go by.

But chit chat's not all that for those unplugged,
another shrug
another hour
can't find the will
can't find the power,
procrastination,
one more stop off
one more roadside station.

Throwing all of this aside, I'll get to where I'm going
or beside some lonely power outlet
I'll let myself decide to do
something different
something new,
tomorrow.
