#90 embracing procrastination

would schoolbags ever get clean without 
procrastinating studying for exams

would this poem get written
if not for the overwhelming sensation 
my novel brings me

and reading
all those great books and words
absorbed and forgotten
all excuses out of daunting to-do lists

dishes
cleaning
phoning friends
getting outdoors

all benefits of procrastination
