On a Sill
A jaunt on a sill,
Overlooking an
Underground station;
So much time to kill.
Unemployed, useless,
Unskilled labour waits
For plants or mills;
I.Q. regardless.
Ten an hour to start
At eighteen was a
Princely fortune to
Those strong but not smart.
The blood and sweat stains
Wait for a machine
To break so they can
Feel work in their veins.
