Putting Off
Feb 23 2022
I would have put it off.
Because often, the thought
of how it will unfold
is the sweetest part.
Or people like me
who dread, instead of idealize;
the uncertain future,
the worst
that's sure to come.
Dive in
go big
grasp the bull by the horns.
Except when you've been gored
when you chanced it before
and now bear too many scars.
So I procrastinate
defer
distract myself,
let inertia rule.
Trust
that in the fullness of time
the universe will unfold,
the future
take care of itself.
I'm not a procrastinator. But sometimes, even I need a good kick in the pants to get started. Fish or cut bait. Piss, or get off the pot!
The thing is, anticipation is often the best part. Not a bad idea to stretch it out, savour it.
