Martha, John’s coworker, chided him
For not giving the can factory they
Both worked for a two week notice
When he stormed off the job
After an outrageous slight
By the owner of the company.
Ironically, a month later Martha
got fired without even a day’s notice
By the toxic owner of the can company.
Shocked, she wondered how she was
going to pay her rent and all her bills,
And how long it would take to find another job
With the possibility of a negative reference.

Age 80. Cancer survivor since 3 years ago. Work out 3 times a week. Ride my exercise bike 2 hours a day. Live a solo reclusive life. Retired a year ago from working with the elderly in a nonprofit. Started writing poetry a little over a year ago; most poems I write are fictional but some are not. Spiritual with a permanent spiritual experience. Write poems on many subjects. Always researching for many of my poems and because of my unquenchable thirst for knowledge. After reading and hearing about many near death experiences and death bed visions, I believe death is the ultimate awakening and the relocation of a lifetime. You may believe differently, but you have the right to be wrong -- I'm just messing with you. :-)
