9/18/2011 – Patricia A. Hawkenson’s Reflections – The Long and the Short of It

The Long and the Short of It

Procrastination
and I have been friends
for a long time
so it should not have been
a surprise
to see my expanding waistline
reflecting
on my rain-washed car door
morphing it
into a fun house mirror
horror show
that caused
the passing birds
to lose their bowels
finally allowing me
an opportunity
to use the short
four-letter collection
of words I have been saving
for just such an occasion.
