to be something By J.J. Campbell

 

another bottle

of scotch

coltrane bleeds

out of better

speakers now

you have reached

a time in your life

where you are

expected to be

something

for some damn 

reason

a drunk is never

good enough

J.J. Campbell (1976 - ?) was raised by wolves yet managed to graduate high school with honors. He's been widely published over the years, most recently at Synchronized Chaos, Dumpster Fire Press, Misfit Magazine, Terror House Magazine and Horror Sleaze Trash. You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
