The man in your sight
Writes exclusively at midnight
For an hour he spins verse
Is his life a blessing or a curse?
He lives on the success
He writes on the lows
What you read he brings up from below
The street light flickers as his pen drops to the table
For he hasn’t slept in a week
Working on becoming the next Rosseau
Living like an inmate in his chosen poverty
An artist in society
Is his life a blessing or a curse?
Who can answer that?
A question presented to all
Yet none seem to be able to answer but he
You will find his answer in the price of what his book sells for
Free.
