the want ads looking for work.
i read off
the listings
of jobs with skills
i don't have.
plumber,
electrician,
cook and sales.
there must be something
i can do to earn
my keep in this world.
something
i can do
or sell.
nothing looks good,
but i put
my old suit on anyway,
comb my hair,
apply an eager smile,
then head out
to knock on doors.
i'm willing and able,
to shuck corn all day,
wash dishes,
tote that barge,
lift that bale.
