UNDONE TASKS

i hate tasks undone for they are 
the loose strings of my life 
the sensation of incompleteness gnaws 
at my core until i develop enough initiative 
to set my mind to the work at-hand

static inertia
and getting things moving is the hardest part/ 
i'd rather sit here reading nietzsche, absorbing 
his words like a sponge: 
he's that magnetic
it's as if he's talking to me and me alone

yet the undone task keeps plaguing my mind 
the unseen nemesis that it is 
where is that point of decision and transition 
when i will decide to shift from this 19th century 
philosopher
to the realities of the present day?

it will come sooner or later 
that much i know

motivation
why is that so hard to do right now? 
i can't put the impulse to finish the task 
on hold forever

this chair is a magnet of great power 
that takes sheer force and determination 
to break away from

now move...
