The Scavenger and the Artisan

The Writer is ready. He's always ready.
More a tool than an actual being,
An algorithm, maybe a theorem,
He'll gather whatever The One Who
Writes provides, and use it to produce
His poetry. Scavenging bile or cardboard
Or worse, The One Who Writes often
Proves to be difficult. It doesn't matter.
The Writer must live, but he does
Only when he can write.
