A Life On Layaway

This poem is the first in a 3-part series of rejected poems.  And in all honesty, they aren't that great.  But as the rejection letter said, all taste is subjective.

Purpose's Pleasures perpetually dodging

Clawing to escape the horrendously blasé

It's just over the counter

It's just one jump away

The one yard line dreamer

Is one you don't ask to play

Reservation left unfilled

A life on layaway
