full time contracts are becoming like extinct breakfast cerealsA Poem by jacob erin-cilberto
adjunct
interest playing for keeps at
little cost payment rendered for
goodbyes
a "see" note scribbled and placed next to the unused
coffee cup and the shunned slice of
toast
he feels he was hired
short term and now has been let go for another, less
expensive love who won't care
that she never stays for
breakfast.
