The Magic Pen

the pen moves as I sleep
I barely see it scratching across the notebook
But I do not care; I am exhausted.
It is way past my bed time.
My muse kept me up.

I do not open my eyes
Knowing in the morning I will hate what I see
Because the pen is the smart one in this duo
It is despicably sad 
being shown up by a magic pen.
