Poem of the Day Challenge – Day 11

Infinity-Time1

 
Conundrum

Procrastination
Takes all the time in the world
Seconds turn to minutes turn to hours
Dragging on into eternity
As you avoid everything but time

Being in the flow
Takes no time at all
Eternity is condensed
Into this very second
Which lasts forever

I write poetry and fiction; create doodle art; do genealogical research; take photographs of the world around me; think about odd things; hike the red rocks; and obsess on food.

    “Far from being the thief of time, procrastination is the king of it,
    And therefore I sing of it.”

    Ogden Nash

    By WRITING about procrastination, the two of you punch through a wall. He writes a good bit of whimsy (there’s a lot more to his bit than is quoted), and you unblock Eternity itself, in a single flow-moment. I love it!
