5. Fountain Lake, Richmond, VIrginia

To You:

My job is moving boxes.
I lift them.
I carry them.
I stack them.
It requires no mental acuteness
just force and motion.

I am a workhorse.

Once this was a source of shame.
A downfall.
A disgrace.
A disappointment.
A failure not exclusively my own
passed with bread at the family table.

But I'm not a simple beast.

Untaxed by trade my mind is free.
It's a resourceful explorer
wandering like a wild creature
not a broken brute.

  1. This flag was removed today by parties unknown. This is part of the exercise though....putting it out there and letting go.
