Procrastination
September 27, 2018
I gawk at the heap of books and binders.
I delay the loads of assignments to Sunday at 8:30 P.M.
My calves ache from the noon soccer game,
and my head throbs from the lack of sleep.
My eyelashes weighs five pounds per lash.
My head like a magnet, finds the cushion
I use to prop my back against.
I resist the temptation to sleep and begin my
sixs pages of draft for my Yogi fish poem,
two algebra lessons,
thirty pages of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld,
and vocab for chapter 1 lesson 1 in life science.
Why so much homework?
Why am I so tired?
Why did I wait until tonight?

The average person has between 150 to 200 eyelashes and with each weighing five pounds that's between 750 and 1000 pounds.
Usally on the weekends I have a volleyball tournament or a soccer game on Sunday, so I always wait to do my homework Sunday night becuase I don't have time or i dont want to do it. That is what my poem is about, hope you enjoy!
