third cup of coffee /// smoke###5
burned skin raw red back $70 in dirt-stained jeans
this is work / this is life / this is toil / this is reward
this is summertime violent sun / this is bare-skinned sweat
and blue-collar manual labor circumstance
burned skin back afire irritated by shirt-friction
this is no complaint
this is gratitude
for health
and opportunity
to work.
(and now money means nothing this typewriter is reward enogh)
-(aware of typographical error
but confounded as to why it may cause concern)-

anything you like,
music is my only benevolent addiction.
mosquito dying
slow contortions of old age
writhing injured end
