I'm Too Busy

I’m too busy for schoolwork

and I’m too busy for chores.

When someone wants to come in,

I’m too busy to hold open the door.

I’m too busy to eat,

I’m too busy to sleep,

I’m too busy to give a shoulder

for those who need to weep.

I’m too busy for night

and I’m too busy for day.

If someone has something important,

I’m too busy to hear what they say.

As the black hole swallows me,

I remember when my good friend

said I’d be too busy

to notice the world’s end.
