I'm trying not to write... REALLY

I've been banishing poems as soon as they peek around the door, Sir, but this was one was too strong for me. Damn it, Sir, with all due respect, you lit a fire in me, and merely declaring "Down to coals with you!" doesn't always work.

I'm trying, though, Sir. I really am.
I'm trying to obey.

I always want to obey.

Sit at computer and twitch

Yes I'm on time-out but still
Twitch
Heartbeat starts racing up hill
Twitch
Evil air fingers give pinch
Twitch

Brain doesn't want to slow down
Squirm
Easier when I'm at home
Squirm
Leaving my laptop alone
Squirm
Chasing the kitties around
Squirm

Ramp.
Down.
Calm.
Down.
Don't.
Twitch.

Now.

Submit.
