Goals Got and Short Sighted Plans
 

Tonight I planned to write some poetry.
I have been planning a long time
To write a bit more poetry,
To write structured verse and rhyme.
But I won't.

I won't because my wants are got
And all my plans are complete
With no details at all forgot
in my meticulous quest to achieve the feat
of completing my goals.
I aimed to low.

I got the job,
I finished last year,
I made the bed,
I now sleep here,
And without a want and without a wish
I wait for inspiration,
I never use to have to wait.
I search for inspiration,
I never use to have to search.
And I pray for inspiration,
I never use to pray for anything at all.

I am finished yet not complete, and now
I am completely finished.
