procrastinator

avoidance
the tactic serves me well
though I pretend it is my enemy
(oh, I don't know why I can't seem to get to work, I just have so much to do these days you know, it's a miracle anyone gets anything done, isn't it)
I know better

I'm telling myself, telling you silently
bright and bitter, better things await me, if I could
just put off that thing, that one thing
I was supposed to have done
by now, but haven't
If I could just
hold off

what is the reward?
weigh it.
what is the punishment?
weigh that, too.

try to take one,
and evade the other
without lifting a finger.
