Day 41 prompt: unfinished

Mom’s voice nags

As I hit play:

Write your paper!

It’s due Friday!

I’m working on it

Wrote the outline,

Found the facts.

It’s practically written.

Just relax …

Because I’m working on it

All mom trusts

Is what she’s read.

She can’t see

What’s in my head …

Where I’m working on it

The night before

The work is due

I’ll pour it out.

Might be up til two …

While I’m working on it

Just trust me mom,

And hold on tight.

Words incubate.

That’s how I write.
