"To Do or Not to Do"

To Do or Not to Do

                for Alex

 

There’s a hole in my to do list

which lets me peer through

to the other side of importance

where a murmuring stream

of consciousness 

breaks down

what is timebound

like water eroding rock

continuously…

the so-called future

mapped out

like geography

becoming flimsy

while the lay of the land

below my windows

shows a gathering of violets

risen from their rhizomes

covering ground better than gossip.
