just as soon as it all came together for him,
he’d be sure to get it all together.
that was, of course, the only thing stopping him.
small thing to be sure.
and he was willing to wait.
besides, one needn’t rush into things.
one needs to be prudent,
and careful,
perfectly organized,
and properly energized,
plans need finalized,
and precisely itemized,
these things take time.

time-permitting,
and, assuming it all comes together,
get it all together.
This is perfect. Simply perfect.

I have to say that I do like this poem - abrupt but flowing, a nice mix of ideas…
Would you like to submit it to Symposia?
How truly this message rings out to me! I am in need of such care and due discipline. I can’t help but feel that all the ‘finalising’ and ‘organising’ and ‘itemising’ refers merely to a kind of human filing machine.
Sturdy flowing prose all the same.
