whose to do list is it anyways?

to rush through

each task

hurtling toward the next

just to admonish the blur

of life past your window

when you could have ordered twice

at the coffee shop

and admired the espresso beans

dropping toward the churn.

How many tasks did you outlast

just dwelling there

entire lives walking in and out the doors.

b.w.
