Hunched Over My Desk

I should keep writing poems, without reason or rhyme,
Say 'no' more often to others, guard with life my time.
Have a strict morning routine, don't let life intervene,
Before I eat that frog for breakfast, I shouldn't be seen.

Other people are hell, they'll inevitably interrupt,
It's a mark of a great man, he won't let that disrupt,
He'll schedule his calendar, for me-time well in advance,
And block time for deep work, leave nothing to chance. 

I've achieved financial freedom, I've retired early,
My friends still hustle on weekends, which makes me surly.
What use is abundant time, if not spent with a loved one,
I can craft a few more poems, but will miss with friends all the fun.

The only reason to write poems, is to connect, not kill time,
If it doesn't deepen our connection, it's mere sophistry- more a crime.
