the debate

i give myself two

minutes to decide on what to do today.

take a walk.

breakfast, ham and eggs,

or french toast with bacon?

or go down to the lake

and

throw pieces of bread

out to the ducks.

or should i put all of that on

the back burner

and  find a sunny spot

with a cup of coffee and read

my book

about the bombing of london

during world war two.

i start to panic as my two minutes

are almost up.

quickly, i shower and get

dressed

and head out the door.

i'm not used to this kind of pressure

and call myself names like

irresponsible,

lazy, undecisive and self

indulgent. oh well.

next question.
