Undone
it’s easy to focus on things undone
they glare at you
make you uncomfortable
it’s a bummer to disappoint yourself
but I think that’s a half empty notion
living is an experiment
in progress
filled to the brim
with infinite little projects
and infinite little dreams
some we accomplish some not
for an infinite number of reasons
the reward is in doing
not in done
when you stop doing
your brain shrivels up
and you become a lump
just waiting for the undertaker
so maybe a full life
is never having enough time
to do everything
I don’t want to live a day
with nothing left to finish
