Bargaining Unit

Topics: classic

The man about to become a sparrow     is shouting his head off     wearing green trousers     with red eyes framing mustier tweed,     he lambasts the lad     for not conducting     his person properly     in showing up for work     in a white shirt.     The fact the future labour     requires only lifting boxes     to a shed     is a fine point     about as important     as the man himself     who has transformed     himself into that sparrow     where several would not     span the breadth of a     bigger man's hand     or four could be had     in the Biblical sense     for less than a penny.
