¿A HISPANIC JIMMY HOFFA?

Fernando is
An ambitious kid
And he wants
To start a
UNION
At work
He’s a Meat Clerk
@
Henrys Market Place
Chula Vista
He said he cut himself
He showed me
His sliced finger
He also told me
About the time
He fell and landed
On his knees
But he managed
To save the tray of shrimp
He never reported
The injury
Now he tells me
It hurts
Write something
He said
About people hanging
As if were
From a cliff
Holding on
For dear life

LATE NOVEMBER

Commercial hymns
Fanning the
Consumer frenzy
Hypnotic marketplace
Subliminal ambushes
Of trade
