The Thought Process of a Serial Procrastinator

Hands are shaking

Heart is pounding

Gotta do it

Gotta do it

Search through journals

Find an idea

Don’t give up

Don’t give up

Daughter’s home

Time for her

Set it aside

Set it aside

Drive to Cheerleading,

Come home fix dinner

I’ll do it later

I’ll do it later

She’s all tucked in

No time for me

Get to work

Get to work

Mind is wandering

Ooh, House is on

Stay on task

Stay on task

Do reading assignment

Get an idea

Write it down

Write it down

Read it over

Please with it

Poem’s done

Poem’s done.
