The writing muscle
Pumps ideas from gray matter
The writing muscle
Is a narsisist
Caring not for other obligations
Pouting when ignored
The muscle
requires attention, exercise, nurturing
Sometimes it even demands control like
Symbiotic partnerships
And then, like the actions
Demanded by a well pumped bicep or quadrocep
It will tremble with effort and delight
Overtake the writer’s chore list
Odorous Laundry piles ignored
Phone calls delayed
And an occasional burnt dinner entrée fall victim
To the whims of
The Schwarzenegger Muse.
