Roamer

insomniac

wanderer

living off ideas

as man does not live by bread alone

caffeine addict

dark room

table bare

mattress, exposed springs

stomach growls

ignored

an idea

hands obey

paper seized

pencil poised

body tightens

excited

eyes don't blink

tongue still

breath held

scribbles work it all out.
