Fast
Robert loughran 1962 (Ireland)
I'm not fast,
i often wish ,
i was more broadly efficient.
The most mundane tasks forever last,
I'm obviously deficient,
at getting through the daily chores,
that clamor for attention.
.
The most obvious things elude me
as i ponder ponderously
escaping from what is
to live in what might be
still i wouldn't swop,
well not permanently.
i will stay one foot in creating,
after all that's just me.
