“Maybe Later” is an episode that explores the theme of procrastination and the human tendency to put things off for the future. The poem is written in the voice of a student who reflects on their own struggles with procrastination and the tendency to wait until the last moment to complete tasks.

Using a metaphor and personal reflection, the episode expresses the idea that we often make promises to ourselves that we cannot keep and that we should act today instead of waiting for tomorrow.
