Stripped of the need to think or judge or defer.
Just a dirt track and rocks and grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And a sky offering no judgement at all.
And a back bent like the pick and the shovel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lever out the rock and place it just so
in that gap in the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think of the hands that did this before you.
Of all the feet that ever walked this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of that rock still being there, in that wall,
when you are gone and dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learn to see the humanity in that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
