Get Blank Poetic Asides

 Get Going

 

The morning after

traipsing through the forest

with thirteen kids following,

I sleep in.

 

When I finally

tumble out of bed,

part of my brain still sleeps.

Breakfast appears unappealing.

 

I go forth in slow motion,

like walking through a bog.

I set the timer,

work for a minute.

 

Then two, then three.

Maybe by sometime

in the afternoon,

I’ll get going.
