List upon list, forever chasing more productivity,

No more so than at home, single dad, three teen/tweens, piles around the house, every room, every corner,

Lists for the basics, to get the minimum done, too often to selfish me gets in the way,

I just want to write, rest, stare into the distance for a bit,

Somehow the bits get done, inelegant often, tardy, but completed, all the things,

All the things.
