So much to do
RUSH! HURRY! QUICK!
Don't let anyone down!
VITE! VITE! VITE!

I'll do things together
double up my time,
I'll do chores, laundry
and fight crime.

With an iron in one hand
I'll save that civilian,
Pressing my shirts
while beating Crash on the playstation.

I'll brush my teeth
and eat curry dinner,
I'll brush my hair
and sing in the mirror,

Read the scriptures,
clean the clocks,
vaccum the stairs
and pray to God,

But oh no
the plants, I've forgotten,
the leaves are droopy
and the edges rotten.

This list is never ending
to do this, tick box that,
I'll cross off the list
that I fed the cat,

Just one breath,
take a break.
Inhale. Exhale.
Feeling the rain on my neck.

Sunshine on my eyelids
wind in my hair,
the smell of the flowers
filling the air.

So take a second
STOP
forget what you're doing
enjoy life
then continue, get going.


(as far as i know 'vite' is quick in french, my mum says it a lot to my french cousin when he visits. I think that is the correct spelling.)
