lines written in the wee hours

nothing to do except what I don't want
what I don't want would feel
like a waste of time
so I read novels
feels worthwhile
but it's a waste of time

what is one to accomplish?
the world's burning
the whole enchilada
what is one person?
is simply not stoking the fire enough?
you know the answer
that's why you spend your time
reading fiction.
