of course it’s when avoiding one thing
that i’m finally in the mood to do
another long avoided task
is that human nature?
is that the trauma?
is that maybehd?
could it be
all three?
procrastination
July 23, 2026
avoiding things
and having them be
easy
doing things right way
and seeing they are
hard
how long till it balances out?
how long till everything is even-keeled?
how long till i actually understand myself and humanity in general?
[i think i may be out of luck in that respect…]

if i were a god
if i were a god
if i were a god
i may be a better god than the one(s) we have now
but
i’d probably still procrastinate
and have too many things on my plate
and i wonder what i’d let fall by the wayside
[is/are our god(s) not actually terrible
but simply
forgetful?]

it feels
so silly to me
how i can only accomplish chores
when i’m actively avoiding
other
chores
[procrasinactivity
procrasticomplishment
can’t do a task? add a new/more time sensitive one
and watch yourself procrastinate that task
with the original one!]
[so much fun…!]
~~~
i can do it
i can do things
i can do scary scary things
i can do things that seem overwhelming
because, in the end
they tend to be
just things
and this is
just life
it’s all ephemeral
and liminal
and temporary
[what lasts may just be
vibes]
~~~
like, i mean, the vibrations you send out into the universe
i totally meant that
when i first
wrote it
May 27, 2025
just writing
quick morning words
and then back to working
on the thing i should have started
a month ago
but alas
the maybeHD
and procrastinatory tendencies
make it so
in this week
before the event
this is when my creativity
actually explodes

i’ll deal with it…
…later
i tell myself as i accidentally
log out of
pretty much
everything
i’ll deal with it…
…later
i work with my phone instead
google meet/
zoom/
jitsi/
anything to work out
and not work on
the issues
i’ll deal with it…
…later
i go out
socialize
come home and grab my computer
to work on it
but it’s late
and i’m exhausted
[and maybe drunk]
so i’ll deal with it
later
later
later
i’ll deal with it
later
i pull out my laptop
my computer
my everything
and remember yesterday
and all the laters i stated
and instead of dealing with it right way
i instead write some poetry
first
because
i’ll deal with it
i wil
just…
…later

huge list
yesterday
of course i
procrastinated
things
with other things
but i still got plenty of things
done
and yet i still
still
still feel
unaccomplished
as a human being
[when will this feeling end?]
August 12, 2023
when
will i get my
writing
back?
my churning out poem
after poem
of things
even i think
are gold?
my extended long poems
studying a single subject
until i learn
the poem wasn’t even about that
to begin with —
it was about some emotion
i’ve been feeling
but not identifying
for a while yet?
my ease
of writing poetry
every morning
without fail
without procrastination
without this trudge
through molasses
in my mind?
when?
when?
when?

procrasti-working
works for me—-
i get into the flow
of whatever work
isn’t time-sensitive
/finish up a project
that isn’t really necessary,
and i find myself
[usually, but not always]
able to continue flowing
into the stream of consciousness
of whatever thing i was avoiding
to begin with
[but i wouldn’t necessarily recommend this
to anyone else]
[except
maybe
maybe those
with the adhd]

interesting choice
in Morning Poetry tactics:
the internet-perusal,
the procrastination by other necessary tasks,
the avoidance—
but also the placement/
routine/
you can’t get out of this one
just by watching your animals
interact,
or taking multiple breaks
inside this very poem
to drink half your coffee
and listen to the music,
the poetry will come
whether or not you want it
(but you want it—
otherwise
why
would you have made this challenge
and just kept on
challenging
yourself
month by month
week by week
day by
day
?)
