Not Done
one
thing
at
a
time
that’s what
i keep telling myself
one
thing
at
a
time
the-year-long-exhausting-heartbreak-process
of selling a business
done
14 years of her schooling
done
a place by the water
done
his hernia surgery
(that we keep putting off)
not done
finding her a safe place to live
not done
coming to terms with her leaving
not done
coming to terms with Granny’s rapid decline
not done
what to do with the house
sell it
keep it
renovate it
rent it
sell it
keep it
build again
buy new
what to do …
yeah, so not done
figuring out the next chapter
of our lives
not done
but yesterday
a small change
went and saw
that Chandu Champion movie been wanting to see
since the trailer
but kept putting it off
and almost didn’t make it
yesterday
was gonna put it off
but decided last minute
to make it a priority
such a small thing
and yet it wasn’t
such a powerful true story
about the human spirit
like all the great sports movies
that were ever made
it wasn’t about the sport
at all
it was about the heart
you gotta have
you gotta have a Lion’s heart
when darkness descends
and it’s hard to find your way
out
want them to go see it
today or tomorrow
‘cause Friday it’s gone
and it’s not the same
on a tube
gotta see it the way it was intended
but talking them into going
will be a hard sell
‘cause it’s not in English
based in India with subtitles
and there’s a singing part they could have left off
but other than that
well worth it
they need to go see it
today
and not put it off
such a small thing
but it’s not …
Not Done
