it was just a job

it was just a job.
one of many.
the first being a paper route
as a kid.
cutting grass,
washing cars.
shining shoes at the bowling
alley.
hustling empty
bottles
for two cents.
washing dishes.
a janitor.
hanging sheet rock,
hanging pink batts of
insulation.
carpenter's helper.
brick layers helper.
ditch digger.
backhoe operator.
a salesman,
a color consultant.
a fortune teller.
a magician.
a sous chef.
a song and dance man.
a computer programmer.
a goffer.
a waiter, a bartender.
a back up singer.
a roadie.
a plasterer.
a wallpaper hanger.
a painter.
a writer.
done, at last.
