I always have this list
running though my head
it tells me what I have to do
and what I did
Stressing me out
as I pace from place to place
it always seems to shove
what I didn't do right into my face
A sidekick in karate
is followed by a thought
do the dishes
pack your bag
burn the cd
do this home work
do that home work
call Lea
call May
All the things I didn't do
and want to do
or said i will
this list follows me everywhere
I often think how
Spacing out when at diner
then again when talking
Charlie asks what's wrong
I don't even notice
feed dog
call vet
get stitches out
if time go to the doctor
for that knee
nope no time
well ill do it tomorrow
and then again the next day
A few years later
and now my list has grown
things that once seemed stressful
are my breaks
and the things I never got to
still have a place on my list
that bad knee
the injured back
write the history chapter
go to funeral
get friend to eat
It goes on and on
my never ending list
I whisper it to my self
and try to get it done
