When There Is No Time To Write Poem by Terence George Craddock

any wage slave can work the day
singers artists poets can work the night
when there is need no time day after day
singers artists poets can work the night
singers artists poets can steal the night

when there is no time
absolutely no time
a poet can steal time

a poet can write into the night
a poet can write the night
a poet can write the entire night

forsaking sleep
forsaking rest
forsaking meals

forsaking refreshed regeneration

a poet can write a night in word fever
a poet can live stolen life in a single night
a poet can breathe creativity in still night
