I'm a writer and stand up comedian trying my hand at poetry. If you enjoy any of my writing this is not what I do full time and any token of your appreciation is greatly appreciated as it will help fund making writing a greater part of my life and get more content to you!

Hey there God, I’m...

A Toast to the 9-5

To all my people out there hoping they don’t wake up,
expecting to slip in the shower and end in the tub.
To all my people, while shaving, looking to shred up their neck
and pray that nobody comes by to check.
To all my people out there wishing...

I language used here to convey your longing I find truly beautiful, that I found has stuck with me since I have read it and I enjoy how your message is direct, the cadence flows naturally and the length is just right, a very elegant piece! Keep up the good work!
