J.J. Campbell

on a porch with a glass of something strong

i was never cut out
for the corporate life

i own one tie
mostly used for funerals
i no longer bother
to attend

nothing against those
who feel more comfortable
in a cubicle

but i’d rather be on a porch
with a glass of something
strong

allowing my imagination
to fill some pages

taking a moment to
breathe in some silence
and whatever passes
as fresh air

letting the hours
fade away without
ever punching
a clock
