Purifying the ego: 11

tap tap tap
tock tock tock
time is a trap

the windows are dirty
the laundry is running
later in time it is clean

interesting times, no?
what if the were more so?
how would you then go?

let us move it over now
let us move it closer now
let us move it nowhere now

all my do's left to do
all my did's left undone
all my didn'ts, now done

this poem is shaping up
this poem is shipping out
this poem is just in time.

"I believe that all human beings must dedicate themselves to writing poetry for half an hour every day, without worrying if the writing is good or bad, if it will be commercially successful or not. Poetry as a constant in life purifies the ego."
