as you see up ahead the man
in an orange
vest holding up a stop sign.
traffic is backed up
in all directions.
the striped barrels
are everywhere.
tractors,
and plows.
in slow motion the men
with their shovels
move about,
tossing dirt and rock
to the side of the road.
gravity seems to be heavier
on them.
they're in no hurry,
they've punched the clock.
they're already at work,
just seven hours
left to go.
