A Poem by Marshall
Burn. Burn. In the firelight of dawn when the sun sets aflame those of us who awake to the clamor of day unfinished tasks still holding up a traffic jam of events on a scale unprecedented. Mind-blowing. Work. Work. To break the list down into manageable machinations Hoping that one by one the tasks will take flight The page will be blessed with red bloodied execution and the virgin taken, will settle into substantial maturity. Try. Try. New tasks germinate and populate the columns and there is never enough time to juggle between starting and finishing all those noble intentions. They crowd me out pushing for space in an already jammed tight list of things to do. I try to get on top of it but it wont surrender to my flirting, and pampering and pushing, dressing and undressing and will not yield to my best one-liners. Tasks come with a stern face and stare back at you if you dare do something else instead. The battle of boldness continues day in and day out and I move on into sunnier climes where the beach beckons more than another day at the desk plodding through plots and summaries and shaping characters line after line. Sometimes I wonder what internal turbo charged engine drives me to keep going-without looking back at all those unfinished, abandoned tasks that never helped in taking me forward. © .
