Less than a Year

Less than a year left

to find a full-time job

with health insurance,

or else cheap out.

Living dirt cheap

having spent all my money

making sure I have insurance.

It’s not free here.

Then dropped by all my doctors

just as I was getting the hang of it.

Land a full-time job,

then they find some reason

to drop me.

My dream job would involve an office

but I don’t want to become stiff.

I want to wear jeans,

a t-shirt and blazer.

But that’s the anxiety talking.
