Muse Versus Adult Me

I do not, for now, spout poetic words
or allow fiction to pour from my Muse

Halt! I said, one day last month,
I must redevelop my habits of work
for you replaced them years ago
(with my permission
and his, mostly, too)

And then change came
as it often does
and work called and I applied
with joy and intention,
my attentions to my task, but

Muse
strengthened by habits set
jumped in at will
to spout her words in poetry,
her posts of everyday life and dreams
and work attention waned,
and so,

Halt! I said, one day last month,
I must redevelop my habits of work
for you replaced them years ago,
(with my permission
and his, mostly, too)

but this time I meant it

for now.
