The Beginning

I find it most difficult to start

But once you start, everything falls into place

 

Sorting things out

Organizing tasks

Repeating false memories

Playing a song for the morning swans

Inevitable fears cancelled

Enveloped cash memories

Planning estates

Meal preparation

Canceling the services

 

Coming to attention

Ocean waves crashing

Couldn’t compare

Couldn’t comprehend

 

Found something to eat

Complaints written down

Asked for a gun

Got sweet plantains

Asked for an extension

Got a wooden box

 

The most difficult part is starting

 

The hardest part is always the start
