Vegetable Worker

Post by audiofool » Mon Mar 21, 2016 9:00 pm

I'm a vegetable worker
putting labels on cans
at home empty contents
into eager pans

I'm a vegetable worker
inspecting seams down the line
once I had a dream
now everything's fine

flash frozen
in colorful poly bags
uniform in size
featured in weekly mags

I'm a vegetable worker
quality is a top concern
more than self-achievement
or the wages that I earn

I'm a vegetable worker
putting labels on cans
scrubbing the history
reordering human plans

when the moment comes
a thief in blackest night
you'll awake in oblivion
too well-fed to fight.
