Avoiding Homework

One of the many ways I avoided homework last semester was freewriting. Sometimes it was random thoughts or feelings, sometimes it was story ideas or scenes, and sometimes it was the skeleton of a poem.
This is the product of one of my assignment-dodging escapades. It's not a very good or long poem, of course. I only wanted to play with different uses of certain verbs, so I suppose it's more of a mental exercise than an actual poem. I read it over this afternoon and made some changes. What do you think?

                                                                       I make coffee
                                                                       I make promises
                                                                       I make faces
                                                                       I make change
                                                                       I take criticism
                                                                       I take walks
                                                                       I take aspirin
                                                                       I take time
                                                                       I break dishes
                                                                       I break hearts
                                                                       I break even
                                                                       I break out
