FREESTYLE
Dec 8, 2020
A poem for the reader.
Goals are pretty things to make.
Dressed up in hope and promise.
It is easy to conceive desires on lists.
And as easier to fall foul.
I won’t make swooping statements.
-Not today.
Instead, today, I will write a poem,
It will be unrehearsed and unedited,
The way we like them.
A public confession.
A kept promise, for you.
Perfectly groomed, for you.
Today, I did what I said I would.
I wrote a poem before work
I did it for you.
Before emails.
Before invoices.
Before lunch and I can prove it.
You are my witness.
