I’ve got some serious poetry-writin’ to get done by end of business on Friday.
Things To Do Instead of Writing 2 Poems This Weekend Watch episodes of “Rescue Me” on Netflix instant watch Eat a lot of four-cheese crackers Rake a little bit Discuss visiting Washington, D.C. to see the Smithsonian Write a letter Watch X-Men Origins: Wolverine Buy a six-pack of pansies Work on the grocery list for next week Make excusesBake cookies Go to the Free Library to check out the Kill-A-Watt Buy a potted rosemary plant Marinate and grill and eat vegetables Fret over things you can’t control Observe chipmunks Drink coffee Worry that you have a distorted sense of what you can and can’t control Solve for x Read a stack of student poems Laundry
Drink coffee Think about the poems you should be writing Fool around Consume a gigantic breakfast at the new diner Talk about how you’ve been thinking you need to write a couple of poems this weekend Put the rake away Practice calling yourself a poet with a straight face
I like how the phrase “Edit This” beneath the poem could also be the last line of the poem. Kinda.
