Arm Wrestling

The day began in ordinary ways. 
I said goodnight to the dawn-gagged morning, 
tipped my hat to the lone cricket 
who'd hung around to sing me to sleep; 
and dragged my Gemini muse, kicking 
and screaming, into bed for some 
subliminal conversation. 

My pen wants to write a song 
and she's stomping around my head 
in combat boots.
