>Oh, I lay myself down
to bed, over and over
excusing my sloth
as if it were a recent visitor.

It took 25 years to get here
and in 5 more it’ll be
“it took 30 years to get here”.
No matter how long I spend
or how little I achieve
rest assured! I can conceive
of excuses and reasons
intricately weaved.

But anyways! No one came down hard
on Michelangelo
for taking more than a few years
to finish that whole
ceiling project.
