when
got just enough of the little lightnings lit
to wanna stack together a few nickels
get a semi reliable whip
admit to myself
that a few of my chops
could catch a few clams

because his belly's full, because

signing my name to paychecks
earned overtime
without my own hand in the way
it's the anchor being pulled
by the wind telling the author
