PROCRASTINATING NOT PROCAFFINATING

often;
when looking,
and procrastinating,
and hesitating,
and awaiting,
for the next bright idea
to come online;
I am all but reminded,
of what a wise prophet once wrote,
‘look around you
and seek, therefore,
what is there afore
and before you,
it is what you are seeking forth,
in the moment of your truth,
don’t embroider what you write,
and don’t ridicule 
with a conjecture of any souls.’
so,

Did You Knock

At the beginning you're easy to manage
Then slowly I push you away
As others fill your space
Time is gone so fast each day
Justified
I just want to rest now
I will finish later this chore
That obligation
So easy to glide out the door
Past you...did you knock?
Twice?
I didn't really forget you
A nagging presence.  Notes left
Behind
The deadlines are always down

Stop Procrastinating

We have a proclivity for Procrastination

About what we should do to understand the ramifications

Of exactly what we do and how we live

Within this ecological existence

And while Nero fiddles our Earth burns

And we struggle to come to terms

With living life in realistic terms

In unification with nature and all of life

To travel a path that is both

Procrastinating For the Gre

It was my plan to set aside this past week 
to prepare for the Quantitative Graduate Record Exam.

A week ago this seemed like a big number
for ample review,
time set aside from more typical U.S. autumn events,
like electing a white male economic supremacist for President,
after having taken a 12 year break
from all those irrational remainders.

I have

Procrastinating 

(Verse 1)
What do you want to do
Are you waiting for someone to tell you
That you could do it
If that's what you waiting for 
Then screw it 
Look at the clock 
It just doesn't tick
It also tocks
This procrastination has got to stop 
Got to unlock your vision 
Be prepared to make decisions 
What to do

Procrastinating

I sometimes procrastinate.
Am I just lazy?
Or afraid?

If You Will Stop Procrastinating

If you will stop procrastinating 

Written By Dean Masciarelli

Life is challenging

Yet it can also 
be 
quite rewarding

If you will stop 
procrastinating

And learn to 
stick to a plan

And follow through
with everything 

So that you can fulfill 
your
desires and your dreams

Because you can 
accomplish anything

By putting your 
plans into action

Because it is far 
better

P anic gnaws a little hollow 
R ight beneath my rib.
