by the balls

i quit,
the man says,
standing in the office
at the big desk.
i quit.
i can't work here any
longer
under these conditions.
i'm not paid
enough
to work here, for what
i do ten hours
a day.
i quit.
go home and think about
it the boss
says.
sleep on it and
then decide.
see what your children
and your wife
have to say
see how they feel
when there's no food
to eat,
no money
to make it through
another day.
