The Procrastinating Architect

trying so hard to be optimistic,
but I am lazy, despite
writing ten books of poetry
and five screenplays
all at the same time.


I need a break
to concentrate,
but I also need to focus
on one thing at a time,
which may mean pausing
the podcast for a spell.


when broken down,
all of my anxieties
are financially based,
but that should not stop me.


trying so hard to be an architect,
but I just need to
put down my phone,
stop tinkering
and start finishing,
because done is better than perfect.
