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
