always at work

it's hard to explain
how you sit there and observe,
mining
the raw material
of the moment.
anxious to get home
to the keyboard
and put it down in words.
it's impossible
to let someone
know that you're always
at work.
listening between the lines.
staring into the shadows.
rehearsing the next poem
in your mind.
