shoved in the breast pocket
of a worn tired work coat

by what power ye
all made from blood and broken machines

in a production line You too, you reading

what’s another job description between pal?
down on river becoming
a wharf dog, guarding
boats, watching coal barges
learning to read the water
and at home, still watching
for the honeysuckle to bloom
