schedule

(to you, chaotic cloth piece)--

a schedule to give chaos a rule:

if you (chaos) are going to be
this is how i can control thee

one hour slots
mental bathroom break plots

insert coffee at meeting
donut, too, to sweeten the greeting

buzz on cell phone
time to get goin'

one group mtg, then, to classes to
another activity and if you eschew

the chaos of bumper to bumper
meetings making traffic of yr day, a headache thumper
well, get smart, hectic humper
theres reasons 2 mile races dont got hurdles nor jumpers

for if you

block it out
pencil it in
mark it there
fit it here

then, your day will be a smear
of choking ears and coffee burned tongues and
too much sitting and sprinting to and from
and chewing gum
to what meaning to what end

the rule of the schedule: does not bend nor pretend nor mend
the chaos, like torn cloth pieces from too much ware, cant sew extend

(consider sew/so: cannot so extend)*
