UNDER PRESSURE
What is it then this pressure thing of wich you speak?
The overwhelming feeling of being time poor
without even the time to go back and correct the typos
in a poem hastily written for NAtional Poetry Dayt
Thanks the gods then for googel docs’ auto crrect
And are you really anyway?
Are you, “time poor?”
Maybe you’ve just mastered mismanaging what time you do have.
I can’t see the pianos that are raining down on you from your sky
They are heavy, but moving slowly you say
Maybe you shouldn’t start something without knowing how it will finish
You never used to do that.
You were the one that always knew.
Something you should know:
