haunted dreamer
By Taunting The Reaper
the watch-faced henchmen of moments
yet to pass
often find me unprepared
as I linger and procrastinate
knowing full well these henchmen
are never late
it's always been within my nature
to tempt the whimsical temperament of fate;
deathly cruel in one moment
pointlessly generous in the next
by standing my ground ill-equipped
caught like a deer in headlights
caught like a fish too easily hooked
it may very well be that I abhor
the careful art of preparation
that seems to stifle
my most glorious meditations
the lingering, gentle smoky haze
that keeps the noisy traffic at bay
damn the henchmen!
I only have a moment left of sleep
before they arrive

Living our lives on a timeclock perhaps, clock in then clock out later, and prepare to do it all over again tomorrow. Much enjoyed, thanks.
