All the notebooks that you bought still unused
_____
Years of spending the afternoons dozing on the couch
_____
Thinking about this I have resolved
_____
To write the novel that could revolutionize
_____
The current literary landscape
_____
So that at least you remember me
_____
All your ideas that died through self-censorship
_____
All the excuses that you use to escape
_____
Thinking about this I have resolved to compose
_____
The generational rock opera
_____
That will sweep the crowds
_____
So that at least you remember me
_____
All the secrets that you insist on not revealing
_____
It will be worth it when you can no longer tell them
_____
Thinking about this I have resolved
_____
To direct the trilogy that will monopolize
_____
The festival honors
_____
So that at least you remember me
_____
Thinking about this I have resolved
_____
To postpone all the strokes of genius yet to begin
To pick up the phone and call you
_____
What plans are there for this afternoon?
