In Denial

I am supposed to be writing 
Poems for thank you cards,
And memory jars,
And collecting money 
For presents and food
Before the party starts.
But I find myself hesitant,
Scribbling nonsense, peppering edges
Of the sheet with tiny stars.
Yet starting tomorrow
It would seem more real
And maybe dim this denying trance.
