Procrastination

By Elizabeth Flatley

On your phone scrolling through TikTok

Suddenly it’s 10 pm.

I can wait 30 minutes. 

Check the time and it’s 11:30.

Scramble to my laptop

I better finish fast. 

11:49 half way done,

11:53 one more sentence,

11:58 submitted.

Project due at the end of the week

I have time.
