When thoughts come
They come quickly
Like a thief in the night.
They do not announce themselves.
They break in
And demand paper and pen.
They take over my hand
And command me to write.
Sometimes at dawn,
Sometimes at midnight,
Sometimes while I bathe,
Sometimes while I busy myself.
I have to obey-
Drop everything
And grab paper and ink!
