It sits

On my desk

A technological treat

Like the last donut in a box

The flavorful, fantastic, finger-licking internet is a click away,

But

I have a paper, a test, a worksheet

But

I can already taste the sugary sweet stimulation, the melt-in-my mouth multitude of material

The oratory orgy of online television (hello, Hulu)

I will work extra hard tonight! (I promise!)

Just let me gaze at this glazed glory of an online game

Just let me sniff this salvia-inducing news site

Just let me lick the artificial icing (Facebook-flavored)

And I promise that I will promise

To work really, really, hard on the story I’m writing. I really mean it. Really

…Just like I promised to go for a run…

After I ate the delicious distracting delightful donut

(Which was the last)

In the box
