PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

my whole life is made of
many professions.
by daylight i'm a tutor
of children,
also a student and worker
of a modest piece of land

turning cow manure into compost.

i moonlight as a sort of
cryptographer.
decoding bleak intentions
of cruel men
and then sharing the secrets
towards resistance

turning cow manure into compost, once again.

i confess,
day and night,
i love to till this land.
in the modern world
we invent words and create
fresh titles
and print resumes,
but we're still doing the work
of our ancestors;
and so i'll keep it simple
when you ask:
"what do you for work, man?"

i turn cow manure into compost, my friend.
