This Self-Amusing Thing I Did While Goofing-Off on the Thing I Should’ve Done Earlier This Week

“I have more neglected projects than public housing.”

That wordplay, conjured yesterday, several days ahead.

Here I decay, two days delayed, dreading dreaded dread.

Amusing procrastinating over musings prognosticating yielding deferred referrals instead;

deadlines, eternally scrutinized for conveying validation, infernally, up until downplaying final surveying:

“Lackluster, but livable,” I said.
