Poetic Griping

Mara Lynn Barbee

----------------------------------------

There are so many things I could do
          instead of work.
I could read the posters,
    inspect my fingernails,
        overhear conversations.
I could think about homework,
    plan out what to do when,
        or think of nothing.
I could eat,
    or sleep,
        or draw.
  I'd really rather be drawing.
Because that is fun.
    And this, at the moment, is not.
            That much.

  So, a compromise:
I shall write about
not wanting to write.

So there.
Nyah.
