My Parallel Joan
written by: Joan McNerney
A champion devotee in multitasking
Joan excels as Barista Extraordinaire.
This title was bestowed upon her
at The Galaxybucks Corporate Gala.
Besides being able to balance snacks
pastries sandwiches on her head,
this star’s memory NEVER fails.
Not once has she ever delivered
an incorrect liquid refreshment.
Patrons rush depositing superfluous
monies in her flying apron.
On her day off ever humane Joan
brings stale pastries, sandwiches,
snacks to many indigent children.
As “Dominant Barista’’ at Megalopolis
Deluxe, Joan’s talents are rewarded.
A scholarship was bestowed upon
her for graduate studies in table
hopping while attached to a drone.
Joan is finally fully recognized in
this wonderful alter universe world.
Joan McNerney has been the recipient of three scholarships. She has recited her work at the National Arts Club, New York City, State University of New York, Oneonta, McNay Art Institute, San Antonio and the University of Houston, Texas. Published worldwide in over thirty five countries, her work has appeared in literary publications too numerous to mention. Four Best of the Net nominations have been awarded to her. The Muse in Miniature, Love Poems for Michael and At Work are available on Amazon. A new release entitled Light & Shadow explores the recent historic COVID pandemic.
