Poem "Doing Day"

Doing-Day
By Gene Stoneman

I declare a doing-day
A day in which to do.
I will not think or plan or ponder,
Wonder or construe.

I’ll simply go from task to task,
Doing what needs done.
Remove the guilt, tear up the list,
And make the doing fun.

And in so doing do the deeds
Productive people do.
Completing all the nasty tasks
The unproductive rue.

I’ll think on what I’m doing,
Not what’s gone before.
I’ll focus on the task at hand,
And not on what’s in store.

Reduction of complexity
Makes doing-days a treat.
I’ll banish worldly guilt and noise,
Accomplish any feat.

And when this day is over,
I’ll rest here on the floor.
And make this resolution,
Next time I’ll do more.
