The Creative Moonlighter

between the hours of whenever & whenever, the creative moonlighter focuses on what really matters, for to them the rest is just wasted time, wasted on the world that had already been set in motion long before they ever had a say to begin with & with the time designated to work on their craft, each minute spent in the doing is one spent living & with each minute spent in the doing, a pleasure washes over that cannot be compared to anything else, because it is the moonlighter’s & the moonlighter’s alone--- if the moonlighter didn’t have the stage--- to sing, to play their instrument, to scream their rage, the PC to write on, the canvas to paint, the camera to take photos with, the characters to create & act in whatever facility they could find, then perhaps the geyser would gush, perhaps the mind would explode, perhaps the world would get a taste of what it earns everyday by stuffing everyone into its little cookie-cut squares & making us all do our best to look the same, sound the same, act the same & die the same--- at least for a time each night, the creative moonlighter gets their way.
