Scabs from early summer's bug bites are falling off
with hardly any effort or noticeable pick
just like the things on my summer to do list
that I already completed.
Scabs more recent continue to itch and rescab after picking them
some I put under a bandage to keep me from scratching them
and picking at them
just like the projects on my to do list still in progress
and some forever projects that may remain unfinished
And flies and mosquitoes continue to buzz around
which I have gotten good at squashing whenever they light
like projects that pop up and don't even make the list
In just a few weeks Autumn will be here
and the entire list will be wiped clean,
finished or not, and some projects will be put
on the list to think about this winter
regarding whether they make next year's list.
