Death and Taxes - Dreaded Demons

Death and Taxes

"in this world
nothing can be said to be certain,
except death and taxes.”
                   Benjamin Franklin

I bounce from pillar to pillar,
a pinball attempting escape,
fearing the IRS
more than the grim reaper.
Mind frozen from forming
a plan to meet
imposed deadlines,
I deny reward until the deed is done.
                             Judi Van Gorder

Writing is my reward for getting the other stuff in life taken care of. When I haven't met deadlines, I deny myself the reward. Tax deadlines are the worst, they scramble my brain.
