Procrastination and an Almond Bar

(a poem Jessica wrote about me while we sat and studied at Starbucks)

Procrastination and an Almond Bar

Blond, bobbed hair tied back to meet the headband,
Her Comal River eyes scan the margins
Of theories meant to teach her the wisdom
Of leaders and researchers who made stout
Decisions so others do not have to.

Blond, bobbed hair tied back to meet the headband,
Will she know what she needs to be proper And ...
Read More adequate for her before work class?
She is attracted to the thought of a Tedious Game of solitaire which seems
To be the default for retaining facts.

Will she buy the toffee almond bar that so eloquently sits by the lowfat blueberry muffin that is priced just right?
Almost guaranteed if she still has work.

-Jessica VS
