Today I will write.
I will not believe housework
is more urgent.
I will ignore the ironing.

I will not notice the birds
in the garden searching for food
in the sun.
I will not stop to eat.
I will be focussed on my craft.

I will not remember
that I have forgotten
to water the plants.
I will not remember
that I need to pay that bill. Today.

I will not feel uncomfortable,
Frumpy,
Hot, or cold,
and need to change my clothes.
Nor will I waste my time
inspecting the mirror
to try and find a mature pensmith.
(or waste even more time
attempting to tame the old woman’s hair).

Today I will be inspired.
Today I will be focussed.
Today I will write.

But first
I need a cup of tea.

And maybe some cake.
