It is Sunday morning and I already woke up late
I am dreading all the things to do that are on my plate
I need to prepare meals for the incoming week today
I have to clean, fold laundry and put clothes away
Oh wait, this is my day to catch up on exercise
Skipping a workout on a day off would not be wise
Perhaps I should do that before I begin other chores
There are work-related tasks pending that are bothering me much more
Than I care to admit, maybe I should take care of them first
Right now, before my bubble of morning enthusiasm has burst
There is a book in front of me that I had started reading last night
The urge to finish it right now I am trying to fight
I am so confused that as a distraction I turn
To my social media accounts and some more time burn
*
It is close to noon and all the chores are pending
I have been reading, and I am close to the book’s ending
All the birthday and anniversary wishes on social media have been sent
(To maintain social connections, I am making an attempt)
There are still several hours in the day before I start getting tense
About Monday morning with its promise of another week intense
Passion...unbridled
