I’m not much of a planner. <br />I didn’t mean to write this poem. <br />This wasn’t on my plan. <br />But then, I'm not much of a planner. <br /> <br />I love the fact that you <br />plan everything in life. <br />I love the way you plan the day ahead <br />every morning <br />in those yellow post-it-notes. <br />I love the way you post them <br />In a line of two rows <br />two columns. <br />They are smartly laid out <br />and look perfect. <br /> <br />I love the way you review your plans <br />every evening when you get home. <br />I love to see you put an “X” mark <br />on the plans you managed to execute. <br />I laugh at how I never see many “X”s on <br />those little yellow notes. <br />You are a good planner, <br />But you never carry out many of them. <br />I love the way you come with <br />a bunch of excuses and pretexts <br />on why the day didn’t go as planned. <br /> <br />I love the way you call me disorganized <br />and advise me to learn from you. <br />I love how you ask me to follow <br />your example, and go with plans. <br /> <br />I laugh at the fact that <br />You are a good planner <br />not an executor, and yet <br />you never know it. <br /> <br />12.4.06<br /><br />Arsiema Berhane<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-plan-for-life/
