Poem: This One Is Fresh

This One Is Fresh

I could have taken
one of those
and brought it
instead of making
this fresh.  I did make
more than I needed
before this, made enough
it would not have been missed,
but I do not think
that is an excuse,
is any reason
that I should choose
to do less work now,
just because I did too much
when it was there,
that does not mean
there is less work
to be done
or that I have any excuse
for doing it less well.
