slow poke (Matthew 4:12-23)

a dawdler by
     nature,
  a straggler by
        avocation,
     i could manage
           to lose a race
  to a pro
      crastinator;

me-lingering through
           life,
  i barely can
     find the energy
  to get up and do
        nothing
     constructively;

strolling down the
           street,
     stopping at the
  outdoor cafe at
        the corner of
     apathy and inert,
i while away
  my hours, making
     a cup of expresslow
           last all afternoon;

but immediately?

        immediately!

  that's the
     scariest
word
           in the
     Book.
