Time is Too Little

On By Veera


A poem:

The sun’s going down,
I look at my desk-
Of books and papers,
A mountain of mess.

There’s homework to do-
I let out a sigh,
There’s too much that needs doin’
Too little to brush aside…

I can hear the boys outside
Dribbling the basketball,
Only half an hour to go
Before I answer their call…

I write a couple pages
Before realizing, alarmed
A test I’ll need to study for,
If I’m to weather the storm.

Minutes after I start readin,
The book, with a will,
I recall a half-done project,
Engulfed by fresh anguish.

I think to myself then,
Time is too little
To do anything at all
Without being too fickle..

As I fight for mere hours
To utilise, to study,
I find none for myself
As I drown in agony.
