actually several jobs,
manual labor,
blue collar, brown collar,
sweaty dirty collar
jobs.
each one had a time clock
where you slid
your card into the slot
and it stamped
the date
and time that you checked in.
at the end of the day
you did the same thing.
it's been decades, but i can
still hear the thump of that machine,
the man
keeping track of me,
as i made a few
more dollars to press on
and stave off hunger.
