An Incomplete List of Incomplete Lists

An incomplete list of things that I am:

Writing,

A writer,

A fifth-rate poet,

Pretending to be a fourth-rate poet,

On my way to becoming a teacher,

On my way to becoming repetitive,

On my way past remotely funny,

At a world-record rate of speed.

An incomplete list of things I am not:

Ready for bed,

Ready for this,

Ready to quit,

Waiting for you,

Waiting for Godot,

Waiting on somebody already,

Waiting in the lobby,

A patient in the lobby,

Patient,

Alright,

Sane,

Done.
