Inspiration called today
You were not here
It went away
Promised to call another day.
The days did pass
Those days amounted to weeks away.
And where were you when that inspiration called that second day?
You’d gone away.
The weeks did pass
Those many weeks became months away.
You say you crave something that inspires?
But pretty soon
That inspiration’s use-by date will be expired.

Like when you’re in a hurry to catch a train, or about to go under anaesthetic for an op 🙂
