I procrastinate quite often. Even now as my fingers slide across the mosaic keys, my body is procrastinating Yet my mind and my concience is begging for my undivided attention. I will never understand the science behind such a mindless act. Why is it that I draw my focus away from the things that matter And then concentrate on the things that do not? Like the bent corners of my paper The lid that grips loyally to the end of my pen The spiraling spine of my notebook... All the little and insignificant things that do not matter. Oh how so sadly ironic, That even such a mindless act can hold some truths about my life And how I tend to mindlessly focus on things that just Do not matter.

Procrastination
I procrastinate quite often. Even now as my fingers slide across the mosaic keys, my body is procrastinating Yet my mind and my concience is begging for my undivided attention. I will never understand the science behind such a mindless act. Why is it that I draw my focus away from the things that matter And then concentrate on the things that do not? Like the bent corners of my paper The lid that grips loyally to the end of my pen The spiraling spine of my notebook... All the little and insignificant things that do not matter. Oh how so sadly ironic, That even such a mindless act can hold some truths about my life And how I tend to mindlessly focus on things that just Do not matter.
