And then,
The distractions.

The videos of guidance,
Of violence, gore,
Mistakes, tutorials;

Trailers to new movies.
Maybe old ones.

Maybe *******,
If no one is home.

Maybe a cup of coffee,
An hour of video games -
Usually two.

Maybe then an email,
A new resume,
Another email.

A phone call.

Oh', it's so late, I tell myself.
I should make dinner. I should give myself a break.

I should do this,
This very thing,
Instead of what

Needs to be done.
