“Procrastination” by Nettie Farris

You accuse me of procrastination, but I don’t think I’m guilty of that. I just like to use all of my time. A lot of problems seem to solve themselves, all on their own, if you just wait long enough, especially the petty ones. Why should I waste my time, interfering, spinning my wheels, when I could be doing something else more meaningful? Exactly. That’s why I leave the dirty pot sitting in the sink, soaking. I’m not being lazy I just think the pot should be allowed to wash itself. Why should I take away its own sense of purpose? It’s not about me. Or the pot. It’s about the entire scheme of things. Lately I’ve been putting off the decision of whether or not I should leave you. It’s sort of overwhelming me, so I’ve been letting the decision sit in the kitchen sink. I’m waiting for nature to take its own course, for the universe to speak to me.
