(inertia)

Inertia.
I do not want
to make the calls
I need to make.
Avoidance.
Because I do not
want to explain
myself.
Justify my existence.
Again.
There is some
principle I am
trying to get.
That if I do the
things I love,
the other things
almost disappear.
It is a leadership/
management issue.
I see glimmers
of it working.
I know it’s true
sometimes
that the more
I do, the more
there is to be
done.
I’m thinking
of cupboard
reorganization
here.
so if I do nothing
I am completely
caught up
it would seem.
If I sit in my
chair & write
the rest of it
does not matter.
I squeeze it
in the cracks
& crevices
where I used
to live my life.
In little spots
I scarcely notice.
It works much
better then,
though I have
not perfected it. Of course, if I
had I would not
be here to talk
about it.
