one day and out

when young,
we used to look for jobs
in the newspapers.
remember them?
we'd turn to the classified
section and with
an ink pen
circle the possibilities.
each requiring absolutely
no skills
or higher education.
sales jobs.
construction jobs.
landscaping,
janitorial jobs.
driving an ice cream
truck.
picking apples
in a field.
we took a lot of one day
jobs back then, happy
for the cash.
