Those men have jobs he saidas he did each morning
drinking coffee without sugar
as men climbed roofs at dawn
and hammered till dusk
that they spoke not a word
of english mattered not
they had jobs
raining hammers
glimmers of lightning
in a blue sky
and getting tans too
working on a crew
where a nod and a look
told one where to stand
what to do
they had jobs he thought
the words as bricks
as bricks thrown
his world a window
one gigantic window
sipping coffee
without
sugar

I am sorry to learn about your current unemployment...true, those words would sound as heavy as bricks I can imagine...It is indeed a very difficult time...
Thanks Mona. The right opportunity will come. Just hoping it comes a little sooner rather than a little later. :-D
You could have been looking at my backyard... three houses have just been built RIGHT THERE.
Because I have confidence in you I have confidence that you will find a job. An employer will figure out how valuable you could be to their interests.
Have a blessed Memorial Day.
Thanks Jen. Can't have the rainbow without a little rain. :-)
