31 may

The vague awareness that more could be done

time could be saved somehow

and the space that appears

could be filled in other ways

productive

healthy

list-defeating

calorie-burning

goal-achieving

hazy lazy wondering wins again

all the hopeso’s and whatif’s

battling the whatnot’s

betternot’s

pleasedon’t’s

battling multi-tasking breaks through:

yes to now!

focus on focusing!

occupy the present!

30 may

when the plugs

didn’t work

or was it

the lights

this was all

I managed

to write

29 May

Sorry I didn’t hang up fast enough

Got hang ups—

Those are also called hopes

remote-controlled chances

flipped switches

dipsticks dry and high

Air—the side of caution

(alarm, activated)

This is how I go just

no place, to show

28 may

Let’s play along.

I’m thinking of a number

Another

No time for lunch

The taco trucks

(restless)

Our best guesses

(chess messes)

I am hanging out my whynots

(insecurities, knocking knees)

Tell me, please, what you’ve got

(to seek and to let in)

27 may

how could there be

any other answer

choose our own adventure

easy and fitting, playing along

different songs, but plenty of the

same words

shared rhyme

joining (the chorus again)

wondering toward the next verse

23 may

In the meantime,

I’m wishing,

fishing for parts

heartening

harkening

back to where I once—

fine in a minute

soon to be back in it

knowing showing

leading by example

teaching how to handle

learning is not isolated

created in conjunction

what’s my function?
