April Fool II
Several times
in the past few weeks
the Muse has made me late for work
delighting in the scrawled pencil
that slips over the page margin
because I am trying to drive
as she speaks.
Several times
in the past few weeks
the Muse has taken her revenge
by insisting that I pay attention
then refusing to speak at all
because I am pulling at her sleeve
when she's busy elsewhere.
