Hanging around

 

Laid here, having a siesta,

Feels like I'm in the third trimester.

Waiting to pop, it feels like I can't stop

The feeling, the imminent squealing in my head

Leaves me reeling.

 

Half dead, I'm not quite there,

It feels like I've failed to prepare.

Hanging around, I hear every sound

My heartbeat, the dog scuffles

His feet.

 

Patience evaporates, I take a breath,

It feels like I'm waiting for Death.

Procrastination, all across the nation

Takes hold, my God I

Feel  old .

 

What does it mean, to be in a hurry,

Why should I worry ?

Time is our keeper, don't waste her

Soon we'll meet the Grim Reaper.

Better get going then...
