Deadlines besiege me, as stress pennoned limbs ache for action, yet, procrastination consumes me. I know relief will come, when: task complete I can truly unbend, sit back and relax.
Yet, brain benumbed, I irradiate in a background of autogenous anxiety. I stare through the TV, study the grain on the page I'm not reading, attempt to study the air.
Until, deadlines eve, when stress breaks free staining my mouth, and eyes and senses, bitter body, shocked, resuscitated and frantic activity commences.
