What Industry?

Down with the Greek gods!  And probably

the Roman ones, too!  Graffiti that foretells
is much more ephemeral than the sun.  Sol’s
bright sliver of daylight (on the road to Damas

cus, no doubt!).  Toll free calls with voices con

veying poems on the other end.  I used to do 

that.  For Special Olympics.  And for Southwest

ern Bell.  Sports and communications have been

my life.  Hardly (har har)!  But’ve been some 

slivers of daylight.  Well, that’s taking it a word 

or two too far.  Collecting the sheets of inked pa

per from the conveyor belt, quickly putting the

several hundreds of unique pages together,
binding them in the proper order, placing the 

bound product into a box, finding the time some

where to lift each box onto the truck, hop into 

the truck, drive it out to the nearest warehouse, 

seek out and investigate local bookstores, locate 

an eager audience....
