Recess

Plans and pipe dreams aren’t the same.
Plans do get better results
In most cases. But maybe

They remain the same genus.
You need a rest from them both,
A space for your thoughts where thoughts

Have no idea what to do,
Or what they would if they could,
But sway, blinking a little

In the sheer light of boredom,
Wondering why everyone
From the future’s disappeared,

Why there’s no one but thoughts here,
Unsure who they are, why they’re pleased.
