The weeks where your potential
lays resting in a brackish pool
at the bottom of a reservoir

that you visited last season
while you’re thinking about being responsible now
but know that you still need to sit up and just do something
are frustrating weeks indeed.

You could try to excavate that reservoir,
but even getting back to it
requires more resolve
than you currently have
and finding the right spot
might be a bigger hassle

than you’re up to.

And what if your potential had been limited to begin with?

Probably better to simply purchase some new potential
and start over.

Oh, it’s too much to consider, anyway.
Getting wet is overrated.

Who’s up for drinks?
