Obsession

Doing the things I need

to do. Putting on business clothes

to put me in the mood.

While in the corner sits

the teasing task that piques

my interest. Drawing upon

my every thought.

Look away, there’s work

to do. And only so much time

to finish. The days seem long

while working hard,

but don’t I deserve a reward?

A simple break is a slippery slope,

as just thirty minutes

turns two hours. It’s funny

how time flies,

when responsibilities fall wayside.
