Working Class

by Oscar Tobar

write these words - over backwards again

I’d be manned

working on their duel hills

constantly taking drops at the distance

getting tired - reach for dark faced pale

these are those flowered plates feelings warm

sensing sweet fine air

 

yes, that pleasurable grin

kicks and punches - not as sinful as dead

life marked at 3 and 6

date missed for fights on duels hills

constantly taking drops at the distance

placed upon the talents of dirt blessed trees

 

this was I paged at five passed summer’s speak

looking for water then working on duels hills

constantly taking drops at the distance

as child been blessed

want slips on red dated silver palms

which bears saves

as criers bells it true - states of personal tribes

vantage lost

 

chosen not wearing such beams

grabbed and taught to be clothed of royal turns

doubt fills notions of fumes

pride as done in - iron to burning coals

fights on duels hills

constantly taking drops at the distance

wooden box of toys of knights, colors, and happy myths

 

marked on peak of winter of 16 passed

stack of some on those right from the pack

let them roll and hold heads up

praises of those from across those springs

looks upon my work - feels of happy warmth

working fights on duels hills

constantly taking drops at the distance
