The Illusion of Multitasking
“I’m great at multitasking. I can waste time, be unproductive, and procrastinate all at once”
The Illusion of Multitasking
In case you were asking
My answer:
I was multitasking
Procrastinating
Deferring
Until tomorrow
Without a sorrow
Delaying the inevitable
Playing the pivotable
Unproductive
Almost destructive
The illusion
Of accomplishment
Clear as day
In my mind
Everything a play
Nothing accomplished
Nothing adhered
Time is a wasting
That much is clear
It was just the illusion
Of multitasking

The Label Maker
“Labels are for cans, not people” Anthony Rap
The Label Maker
Hey you with your label maker!
You like tagging people don’t ya, you faker!
You went right by me and took one look
Stuck this sticker on my forehead without a single hook
I am having a hard time getting it off
Did you think it would make a great perma-label on this spot?
But guess what, you nut
I washed my face with potent soap in a rut
With a huff and a puff
My forehead finally crystal clear and clean again
Luckily without the use of acid rain
And nothing of it sticking to my brain
No amount of glue
Will keep the sticker on my face
Your plan went sadly askew
Or were you just in the wrong place
Memorize this lesson
Into your big fat head
Go find some cans for making the impression
And label some of them instead

Ode to My Mac(intosh)
“An Apple a day keeps the PC away” Gun Roswell
Ode to My Mac(intosh)
You let out a hum
As I turn you on
I am Flushing
As I am pushing
Your on switch
You light up
Without amok
It’s electric
Almost magnetic
I feel the itch
I am ecstatic
Cannot wait
As you bait
To touch all
Your buttons
Like a glutton
I will call
For you to deliver
As I wait and shiver
Reaching every height
Through your interface
The globe
To integrate
Guess it was love
At first byte

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
“Enjoy life sip by sip, not gulp by gulp” The Minister of Leaves, The Republic of Tea
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot
Slow down
Listen
To the world
Around
Forget
That strife
Just Enjoy
Without a ploy
The simple pleasures,
Purest treasures
Of life
A cup of tea,
Plain and simple
Easy as
Your A, B, C
Soon you’ll see
A dimple
On your cheek
Will sneak
Breathe in
Breathe out
Relinquish
All doubt
Nothing to it
You can do it
Relax a while
It is no guile
Soon enough
The moment
That should have
Forever lasted
Has passed
You are back
On track
Remembering,
Hoping
The moments
Between now
And running out
To the
wide open
Would last
Longer than
A token
