Graveyard Boy Poem by Melanie Emikohe

Graveyard Boy

Rating: 4.0


I work a graveyard shift,
a hundred and fifty a day
excluding my jeepney fare;
often walk when I'm broke.

I spend fifty for my honey,
buy her small size soda
and a sausage in a bun.
And I spend for her rides.

Someday I will be richer
and marry her in France;
book in spas and sleep
on a waterbed at night.
