Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. ~William James

A Poem Because I Put Off Writing This Post



















Putting Off a Mirage

It seems to me
we live in the myth
of choice
and control

opting
solving
conducting

our lives

Weighing one way
against another

aim
against aim

judging
ourselves

improving
ourselves


In truth

so much takes place
outside this illusion

is “chosen” or done or lived
by others

happens 
to others

and rolls down to us

What then does it mean
to procrastinate?

Life is so much bigger
and smaller
than that
