twice every month.
I long for you
more than the merits and rewards.

And as I struggle to do so,
I shall work with much anticipation
of your arrival.
Please don't be delayed
or else...
I shall not eat.

A payday that seemed mammoth
Reduced to a thin dime
My paycheck never seems

Priorities
Nougat, nuts, a hint of salt
Bought from the corner store
A trip around the board
Of a game called Life
All playful
