Rusty Bucket

Folder: 
Book: Directive, All the Direction but Love

You can pick up your rusty bucket

And leave,

All the projects, word battles

And Go,

Runny noses, sort out socks,

And find your road,

Out of town.

Sitting in the office

The printer whirls.

Some job it has to do.

Recycling the ink,

Printing a testimony,

I hear it, and ignore it.

But you, you

I cannot.

So take your pail and

Shovel,

And leave my

Sandbox,

Now.

I applaud your use of this

I applaud your use of this extended metaphor.

But you let those feelings

But you let those feelings out with verbal finesse!
