click, click, click
my fingers tapping
on the keyboard as
i work on a new piece
you come up behind me
right on schedule
telling me it's late
i tell you i want
to finish the line
i'm working on
you say you want
me to come to bed
i want you to
leave me alone
when i say i will
be there in a moment
we both know i'm telling
a little lie
you sigh and go
to bed alone
i send out my poem
as soon as it is complete
within a few short weeks
i get a check in the mail
you say you want to be
writer like me
i say i will help
you get a job writing
soon you are writing
newspaper articles
and keeping me up late
