NO EXCUSES
The one
who loves to make excuses
may never run out
of the merchandise
he brings to the table.

But soon,
he runs out of time
to make something meaningful
off the alotted time
life offers him.

And those
who buy his excuses
soon run out of room
wherein they store
the undesirable byproducts
of all they have bought
and tolerated at his instance.

When he is tossed in the cold,
he may realize that the world -
in its haste,
leaves the one behind
who rides solely on excuses.
