Procrastinating

P anic gnaws a little hollow 
R ight beneath my rib.
O ver a deadline my mind stumbles
C reating distraction adlib. 
R ancid are the thoughts of necessity 
A ccosting my fragile frame; 
S urely I can avoid the crime
T empting me to shame:
I 
N eglect my history paper.
A crostic I write instead.
T ruth be told:
I
N ow procrastinate . . .
G od help me focus my head!
