poet at work

knowing neither day nor night
that is my station in life
the beast of burden that i am
i know i am not alone in this
carrying the rider and his baggage
the reward is their ingratitude

the twenty-four hour worker
usually even working more
heavily indebted to the future
the beast of burden at work
the tools of my trade by my bedside
those flashes of brilliance to be captured
