Yellow Mama E zine

two dollars

 

by J.J. Campbell

 

 

dancing under

a full moon

 

just two dollars

to our names

 

she looks at me

and says the purpose

of life is to find who

you want to spend

forever with and

make forever last

a little longer

 

we kissed

 

i told her the

purpose of life is

to find someone

that makes you

want to kill

yourself a little

less each and

every day

 

she waited to see

if i was going to

call her that one

 

she’s still waiting. . . .

 

 

       J.J. Campbell (1976–?) is old enough to know better. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Synchronized Chaos, The Beatnik Cowboy, Mad Swirl, Disturb the Universe Magazine and The Rye Whiskey Review. You can find him most days in Ohio taking care of his disabled mother. He tries his best to maintain his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)

Bernice Holtzman’s paintings and collages have appeared in shows at various venues in Manhattan, including the Back Fence in Greenwich Village, the Producer’s Club, the Black Door Gallery on W. 26th St., and one other place she can’t remember, but it was in a basement, and she was well received. She is the Assistant Art Director for Yellow Mama.
