Self-appointed Tasks
Invent duties in order to feel dutiful.
Propose purposes.
Appoint tasks.
Why? you ask.
To crowd out the required,
that, we are mired in,
what makes us cry uncle
but from which we can’t bunk off.
Cast them onto a list
where they can almost be forgotten
till ticked off,
one being to die,
another, surely, to live.
