Mules in the mines
many living and dying underground
in caveins and explosions,
never seeing sunlight. Even
when they rested in their
stables they dwelled in darkness.

I Seldom Think of Mules
I thought they used birds to detect natural gas - What do mules do in mines? Pack animals? In this age of mechanization (robotics) and computers and video equipment there is no reason for a human or a canary or a mule to BE in a mine.
