Inner Projection

I walk in the quiet calm of late night.
Commotion has left the streets,
offices, shipyards, warehouses,
questioning its return.
Here and there it dissipates in homes,
playing out in vented word hoards
and occasional hand payment
(said to be in serious arrears).  Then,
traces in dreams for tomorrow's plight:
Cry of the vendor, broker, duffer, huckster . . .

Meanwhile, congestion,
balled up in the chest,
fear of never having enough,
gets ready for tomorrow,
strains, twists into a coil--

As I walk, I see the occasional picture of light
hanging on a home, framed by its distant brothers
and sisters who speckle the sky.
 
Once I swear a girl looked out and stared right at me.
A chill shot through my chest.
I thought she might speak:
"Trash dwells in their coffers of blight,"
but I was mistaken.
What I actually heard was a tear
masquerading as a raindrop,
falling into a desiccated,
long forgotten well.

Jeff is CEO of  InnerProjection.com: working with students and parents using the proprietary Success, Design and Preparation system creating a plan to ensure being of the 30% of college grads who don't waste 10 to 15 years or leave 100s of thousands of dollars on the table.

Previous to owning Inner Projection, Jeff worked as a computer programmer and in tech. support, but hated it enough to move from his home in Connecticut to do stand up comedy in Boston where he worked with such comics as Bill Burr, Dan Cook, and Billy Martin and wrote for people like Mz. Michagan who needed material for her ventriloquism act. He then moved to Los Angeles to do more stand up, but found being a college professor more fulfilling. He's married with 3 children.

Looking for a fast paced, fun, inspirational read?: Black Body Radiation and the Ultraviolet Catastrophe (Amazon.com).
