Planning

I can only wish to check off something from my

endless lists that create the illusion of success.

What will it be today?

My week old math homework due in the next hour

or adding another item to my list?

The second is the one I choose

because doing means mistakes, 

planning means covering up my last ones.

    that I am finding this world to be okay?

    That I'm comfortable as I worry every time I 

    show my shoulders because 

    what if

    this is the day that I'll remember with

  • Mother Earth

    You were always

    the original scientist

    that inspired the hearts of malleable

    kids. They would be sitting in circles

    of those numbered matts

    with fiddling fingers

    that only were (slightly) off task.
