Procrastination


Don’t have to get up if I don’t want to

But don’t feel like sitting still

So I think about what I want

Slicing open the smooth white belly of a whale

Soft and bloodied                

But I’m not in the mood for it

Maybe I can do something else

And find the jigsaw puzzle of things undone.
