Jared Pickett Poet Pantoum

Beginning the Day With a Shovel and Broom

Beginning the day with a shovel and broom
Construction clean-up around five this morning
Overnight precipitation causes fog to loom
Darker clouds are quickly forming

Construction clean-up around five this morning
The beginning of a twelve hour day
Darker clouds are quickly forming
The skies gone from blue to dark grey

The beginning of a twelve hour day
Enough trash to span for miles
The skies gone from blue to dark gray
There's enough work to last a while

Enough trash to span for miles
Overnight precipitation causes fog to loom
There's enough work to last a while
Beginning the day with a shovel and broom
