Later In the Month
The envelope finally arrived
Sticking out from the mailbox
Slightly opened
I feared the worst.
Hurried to hurry
Initial pay,
Publisher promised
5 things inside
Welcome note
Tentative publication schedules
Important questionnaire
Agreement insert
Money order for my 3 poems.
Inside envelope
Everything
But money order
A poet’s life.
