Stories

My heart
Is in
The stories
Of historic civilizations
But my soul
Has been enriched
By the cotton picker
The butcher
Meat hanging
The shoe cobbler
Great attention
To the details
Blue collar
Red blooded
Green they loved
Was when
Their feet
Met the
Earth
Below
Them
Label
Simple
I say
Extraordinary
