Textual Frustration

Harvest

Day. Walking to work,
much too hot for morality
and such luxuries.

I watch through air distorted
by guilt and heat and see
the living field of humanity
prematurely harvested.

I am not the harvester,
nor am I harvested;
the frenzied farmers
spare me, waiting for
an errant branch
or root.

I will be picked soon.
