being busy

because
you are so busy, you
prefer
instant coffee, instant
quaker oats,
in the bag steaming
of vegetables,
Velcro.
you hardly have
time
in your important day
to take a call
so you let
voice mail
do that.
you'll get it later,
no time
to talk, just a wave
will do.
you skim books, skim
the paper,
take a short cut home
to avoid
traffic.
you are a very busy person.
who's at the door?
who cares.
you need a nap.
