Grass

Zachary Riley

the white shirts
sit at desks
answering letters
pushing papers
wishing they knew
how to use a welder
or an angle grinder

the blue collars
walk around
drilling holes
dirt covered
dreaming of
hot coffee breaks
and lunch meetings

the grass appears greener
on the other side
of the fence
but why
does anybody want grass
and why does everybody
have a fence?
