Life is a series
of trial runs. So when practice
is over, it’s time.
Almost famous, I
can finally take pride in
my accomplishment.
For years I’ve been told
“you’re a great writer.” With that
paycheck comes belief.
Now I blog somewhere
else. A paid professional,
thousands read my work.
Congratulations
follow me like flies all be
cause of my new job.
Today it didn’t
happen. But I thought it would.
What does Facade say?
I was first published
in Seventeen magazine
thirty years ago.
I’m unsure whether
joy or terror will greet the
news that I am live.
Opportunity
is knocking. Finally, I
will open the door.
My new business cards,
bearing my new title, all
printed with typos.
