A Matter of Time

The brown of the earth caked on my hand filling ridges too where tools had rested all morning waiting forever for the lunch whistle

You have never struck me as someone who did blue-collar work, and yet, here you are! Another facet of you!

In my first decade of work, I was blue-collar, so to speak, 8 out of those 10 years. How about that? Once took a vocational interest survey. My two top occupations: Farmer and Soldier... Poet was probably in the negative numbers... Though teacher was #3 or #4 as I recall. ~ gw
