End of the Shift
There’s no other sound
(well, maybe one other)
which is so familiar,
sweeps sweat
back onto the brow,
pours the first cold one,
turns up the volume,
gets the keys ready
for lock-up.
Only a broom
on wet floor-
it must be soaked
then scratched
to free the soybean oil,
chicken parts and flour-
the raw
of dinners
that never made it
And slowed the service
until it was finally www.isotretinoinonlinebuy.com time
For this chore.
