  • I was a task, written and read by me

    I was a task, written and read by me

    This poem is halfway between David Allen and Charles Bukowski.

    Poem: I was a task. Written and read by Bego.

    I was a task

    I was a task
    On your to do list.
    Oh, how I played in your brain,
    How I ran and played and danced,
    How I waited for my turn.
    How I grew up
    Suddenly urgent.
    It was so beautiful
    That final day
    When I was your top priority.
    You gave me all your attention.
    I felt so special.
    All other things
    Pushed aside
    For me.
    Now,
    Crossed off and grayed out,
    I fall into oblivion.
    But
    That final day
    Was so beautiful:
    The ecstasy
    The second
    You finished
    With me.
    I thought:
    «Oh, no,
    I’m done».
