I had a rough time in my life, and took a job that was not good for my state of mind. I read this and remind my self, "life is better."
SHOP WHORE
Blue men look down at me.
Pushing clay and ciggarettes with a broom.
WHITE service vans pull up dirty idling.
"Hello Tony" they say.
I bend down scrubbing Urinals
Joe walks in smelling of tobacco.
"These towel rolls are in wrong!"
"Damned Idiots around here.!"
I santify the floor with red shop rags.
Joe pulls down the towels with authority.
Walking out loudly saying
"men are Giants not Janitors."
