Drop Everything

A book comes in the mail.
The question: do I cleave firm
to obligations and to duties,
do I make sure that everything
is tucked into place? The better
to charge into tomorrow,
get things accomplished
while it’s cool? Do I fulfill
my daily discipline?
Or do I drop everything
and read?
