the bug has you

it's hard
for the actor to stop acting,
even in casual
conversation, he's on,
or the writer
to stop
writing. observing
in his
head what he'll
transcribe later
before bed.
you see the artists
scratching
in the dirt or sand,
carving
things in wood.
the singer
in the shower belting
out,
a song.
the musician in the car,
tapping
his hands
on the dashboard.
once you have the bug,
the bug
has you.
