The Plastic Works

Observing would be hot and unpleasant
I say I would like to see it
get research funding from somewhere?
not to write a paper on it! 
I do not come to be employed
at the plastic works
althought I have strong arms
and know organic chemistry
Observing would be hot and unpleasant
I walk with the men who lay train tracks
Used to be with their hands
I step on the meadow beside
bare foot to boot
my ticket in the pocket of my sundress.
