Thank you to Tasha at In Between Hangovers for publishing 
"Neon Sign."

Neon Sign

This must be how things were for Sisyphus

as he tried to move his load along the path.

Having his burden nearly reach the far side

of the rising of the hill,

as he tried to roll his encumbrance beyond his vision.

Only to have that blasted bolder just tease the top 

and turn back against him.

Like a neon sign always moving 

but going nowhere,

that's how some folks feel

with a chip on their shoulders

the size of a boulder.
