MEN @ WORK


The rear-actor is on the street
It has destroyed the pavement
Making a wet trench

Muddy waters
But this time
Without music
Just radio chatter

I noticed its case number
Near its roof
The roof that protects
Its operator
From the elements

A generator that has wheels
Was next it
It told the story
Of past and present victories
On its body

A dump truck arrived
With a greeting inscribed
In red and white numbers

It said:
We are always
Here for you
