Wednesday @ Work Poem: Perishable Gang

September 30, 2009 by David Zinger Leave a Comment

I pulled

dead cows

off trains.

…

On bleak Saturday mornings

during work we worked at

drinking copious amounts of Five Star Whiskey

out of flimsy paper water-cooler cone cups.

…

Winter came to Thunder Bay.

…

Having accumulated too many headaches

and too little seniority

they laid me off.

…

Sometimes losing your job

helps you

not to lose

yourself.
