the factory

it's no longer
a factory
now. the workers
are
no longer in
overalls
and hats,
boots and gloves,
no longer
a leathered
life of
grease
and dirt,
other countries
can do
that for us.
the factory
line
now involves
sitting
in a cube
with a coat
and tie,
shined shoes,
fingers on a
keyboard,
a small leafed
plant
reminding
you of a world
you can't
see
as the years
pass by.
