Work!!

I LONG TO BE A GOOD WORKER
When you’re a good worker
Nobody cares what your resume looks like
Or what is on your social media sites
Or how many months you’ve been unemployed
I long to work like the mexican man in my building
Drilling holes in the wall
With a smile on his face
Is he seeing something
Us heavy hearted gringos are missing
I saw two garbagemen in amsterdam
Jogging down the street
Picking up
Trashbags and slinging them over their shoulder
Hopping onto the truck
And back into the street again
My favorite job was working at an airport
Hoisting baggage into planes
Why did that feel so useful?
Chopping tomatoes and onions at a restaurant
Manual labor wouldn’t be so bad
If you didn’t have to do it full time to survive
