Poetics Asides Prompt #131 "When you are not paying attention"
When you are not paying attention
All kinds of things can happen
Take your eyes off the ball
You can become lost
Miss the catch
Lose the game
As an artist
It is the muse
For which you must
Pay attention
For surely
As you nap comfortably
She comes
She will not wake you
You will not know
It is your job
To be at your post
To pay attention
You are waiting
Otherwise you will not
Even be aware
That you have arrived
