Earnings

Why we do it

                       we don't know.

We do it, still;

                        ad infinitum.

 

The grind, the slog, the refuse

            of our labor.

 

Leave your sweat,

                              your soul,

          your being,

on the ground when you are done.

 

In receipt:

paycheck.

 

You're welcome.

 

See you Monday.
