Scrutiny

[Hog Butcher]

All the things left pressing to do:
List things I have continued to avoid doing.
For in the not doing,
appears the illusion of expedience.

But that is a ruse,
a nefarious deluding, causing a ready trash of undone necessities when
to polish my onyx headdress and be my queen of this equilibrium in which I am supervising seventh grade homework and
overseeing ninth grade class play lines,
all the while having swept and mopped my floors, and planned a lovely dinner for four...

These then are the least of which the those,
that have allowed my breath to carry me
well past the threshold of more.

Try reading it out loud, as others have said. You can't help but trip over it.
