Why Ducks Are So Unproductive

I imagine just not doing anything.
In my mind,
I drove to the lake and got out of my car,
held my cell phone over the water for at least two minutes
thinking about all of the people
I would not talk to anymore
and then I dropped it.

Then I got in my car and started it;
held the brake and opened the door;
got out as it drove itself into the water,
good, gone, for this time and all.

Then I waited for other responsibilities
to appear in the form of paper airplanes
flying at me every few minutes
and I caught them all one by one
and threw them in the water.

The ducks tried to eat them,
but were unimpressed with the taste.
