poetry lies
waiting
has no ears for
timers ticking down
cares not for teeth unbrushed
or today’s list of things to do
begin
it says
struggle
I will give you much
will overshadow
division
dysfunction
uncertainty
will roll a treasure to your feet
cause me to wait
I will go elsewhere
exist unrealized
ferment to idle nothing
poetry lies
waiting
works its deal
now or never
