Hello, I enjoy reading and writing poetry. This post is dedicated to all the freelancers who have quit their jobs to pursue the writing life. Enjoy!

Neon Nightlife
Never using the ceiling light
cutting the sandwich with the across-the-street hotel’s flashy neon lights
sipping coffee past his bedtime
flipping calendar pages
counting down the days he quits his dead-end job
giving the nine-to-five obituary
only to resurrect a relevant invitation with much serendipity
to working at home instead!
