Falling Behind

Life gets in the way

I hate real life.
It tends to get in the way.
I have important things to do.
Like nap.
Write poetry.
Snack.

But, no.
Real life.
Ugh.

I may nap anyway.
After I write this poem.

Author: Blind John Ellsworth

Blind John Ellsworth (1960- ), a (questionable) poet and sometimes Texas bluesman. He has recorded one spoken-word album (thankfully unreleased), since he is still trying to learn to play guitar. (Lack of musical skills is what makes him a poet and not a lyricist. Plus, he can’t write music.)
