"A WRITER ON A BREAK" in "RESTLESS: POETICALLY-SPEAKING"

Race against time
Find words that don’t rhyme
A logophile on the job
So many terms to look up

A wordplay warrior
who often forgets what’s better:
catching a break
or staying awake?

Not a supergirl
Done trying to take over the world
Just doing what’s best
even when second-guessed

No deadlines for today
Not much to do anyway
This won’t stay long;
soon it’s time to do it all over again
After all, no pain means no gain

**R.
