Blue Collar

I work the early shift at the sticker factory.

I wake up to meet smiling faces and

caterpillars crawling through apple cores.

A big “SUPER STAR” stuck on my

time sheet. It’s wearing sunglasses

and flying through the night sky.

I drink five fingers of Folgers from 5 a.m.

to 2:30 and leave the sticker factory

wearing off brand ray bans.

I blast to the stratosphere.

You become your surroundings.
