a short poem about procrastination

PROCRASTI-NATE

Im procrastinathan cuz i

check the news

And Hill Street blues

The herky-jerky fuse

Of the day’s detonator—

Old U2 lyrics

And the preacher in

The old gospel hour

Taking money from the sick

And the old.

Spent all day knowing I’d need to get SOMETHING written.

That’s the thing I swore to myself I’d do, yes?

So do it.

And tho I’ve had since 7pm

And tho I’ve squandered it until now

Almost 11.

When I’m tired

I’m still that kind of NATE today.

Tho I’ve learned to jump in and get things done.

I’m not perfect.

I stare at the black screen

Then open my eyes

And stare at a black screen

TURN ON THE LAPTOP COMPUTER

I must work. I must write something tonight.

I always feel better when I do.
