The darkness crept in
The light glowing before him
He felt nothing
And yet everything all at once
The caffeine opening his eyes to the day
Characters spilling from his pen
But what to make them say
They all run through his head
Carolyn is chasing her hen
Margo has turned Phil into a wren
Switching genres again and again
The ship is loaded
The crew strapped in
Space pirates launch themselves into the inky blinking void
Inspiration everywhere
From a simple phrase
To reminiscing on The Noid
Puns and prose mixing in kaleidoscopic fanfare
Always promoting one’s wares
Hoping one day to be there
