Trying To Sleep In Vain

a creative muse seizes me
before I am fully awake
before I can seize the day

she has brilliant grandiose ideas for us
ideas I could have never thought up myself
I am grateful I am a Gemini

my the other muses get involved
arguing and slapping, finally stomping each other
I close my eyes and try to regain my sleeping position

the muses laugh
