Day full of
distractions,
deciding what
to do when
reviewing
previous lists,
reprioritizing
according to
mood, weather,
guilt, whatever,
overthinking
options which
put brain,
heart and soul
in instant
overload mode,
which then
leads to
multiple
requests
for delays
from beings who
are suddenly
overwhelmed
by some
mysterious
desire
to sit
in stillness
and wait
for a sign
to appear
from somewhere,
to begin
rescheduling
some event
before stars
and planets
can unalign
in space
leaving you
too exhausted
to even
start
thinking
tomorrow.
