when inspiration doesn’t hit and procrastination follows along

this is tomorrow when yesterday went by
        today never happened anyway
and so the days said why
                is the sun still shining
do the clouds look down
                        is the fire burning
do the children run
                                jumping into the nearest puddle they find
while the neighbour’s dog isn’t very kind
                                        barking like there’s only hours left
of existance
                                                making my headaches non existing
any more —

this is the flow I always follow late at night
        most of times in the morning I say to myself
full of promises
                enthusiasm
and belief in my own ability to avoid procrastination —

I will do it earlier today

well
        it didn’t work again
and so
                this work of nonsense
not even DADA
                        I wish
is finished
                                before I even began
to take it serious —

see you tomorrow
        spirit of the late writing
colliding with the backdrop sins
                of years went by —

good bye.
