It's Actually About

Charles Joseph Albert lives with his wife and 3 teenage sons, works as a metallurgist, and only writes when no one is looking. Except maybe his dog. "It's Actually About" is in Short Circuit #06, Short Édition's quarterly review.

This bright sun peeking
over the eastern hills
seems to remind you of
the exuberant joy of life,
even though it's actually
about getting kids ready
for school so you can
get your ass to work.
