John Lawless Poet List

19 minutes to kill

Waiting for
alarm to go off
eyes to open
coffee to perk
shower to heat up
razor to charge 
sunrise
toast to pop
the dog…

The dryer to stop spinning
The cereal to soften
The weather

Searching for
the other sock
The dog’s leash
My rain jacket
A poop bag
My keys
My glasses
That phone

Gershon Wolf November 23, 2024 at 9:42 PM And here I thought you were going to write about what your thoughts were and focus was in the 19 minutes before killing s/o. Hmmm. ~ gw
