I will do.

I will do. 

Procrastination has turned my mind

into a mini zoo.

Sometimes

the lion inside me grows brave.

Its roar reverberates through my body.

I feel like I’ll finish everything

within a minute.

Then, in a corner,

a monkey swings,

chitter-chattering distractions

into the air.

A day later,

I become a relaxed squirrel.

Everything is there.

Everything is fine.

So it really doesn’t matter.

Out of nowhere,

birds chirp,

nudging my perception.

A grizzly bear

pinches my awareness.

And when a snake hisses,

I remember history,

how great people toiled

for their aims.

The next day

I hurl myself forward

like a stone.

I fall into water,

create a ripple,

and then settle down again,

alone

with my own thoughts.
