it's early, but the men are at work

it's early, but the men
are at work.

i see them in their lime green
jackets,

helmets too.
one is riding a jack hammer
into

the sidewalk.
the others have shovels

and picks.

they say nothing to each other,
the noise is

too loud, the generator moaning
beside them.

they are there when
i leave.

there when i return.

when they finally leave, they
look at

one another and say
something that i can't hear
from behind my

behind my window. but it's not
much.
