But I Don't Want to Be the Grown Up

Truth be told, I don’t wanna –

Go get groceries

Wash the wearables

Sauté and stir-fry supper

Degrease and de-grime the dishes

Suction the stairs

Disinfect the domicile

Cleanse the car

Cap computer consumption

Enunciate explanations

 Adulting is arduous. I’d much rather –

Study stories in the sun

Nap at noon

Pen poetry or

Consume coffee with companions

Maybe moments would become monotonous,

but I’d prefer these pleasures for at least a passing period.
