No Time

this morning I don’t have time to
write a poem
read a poem
revise a poem
interpret a poem
burn a poem
(unless it’s by Maya Angelou)
but
I always have time for dark thoughts
trying to understand the cesspool called life
reflecting on the drones called humanity
visualizing you with no clothes
and doing other ephemeral associations
as long as I don’t have to get out of bed
go to work
or pick my clothes up off the floor.
