slush
mush
the stuff
that’s too hard to plow through

piled high
on your desktop
heaped or stacked
on the floor
too much
too heavy
back breaking at best
do not lift
push it aside
wait for a melt down
and watch it slide……….

put on your boots
make a track
through the stuff
when you look back
they’ve turned into mush
nothing resembling
a path with a course
nothing cohesive
in that mass of slush

it’s like a brain freeze
without pain
trying to
……….sweep
……………… shovel
or swish it aside

too much thought
for an immense task
too much anxiety
for a colossal chore

enough of this tension
enough of this stress

either get up & attack
or sit back & relax

wait for the melt down
and watch it slide…………..
