The garden had two men peeling the dead things away
The pile of brush rose in size in the summertime heat
The smell of meat cooking somewhere near by came
Wafting on ocean sea breezes like moist kisses on the pear trees
Dozens of birds had chosen this place to hang around
The water was scarce- people had it brought by truckload
The skin of the men that did this hard work was dry
The lines in their hands
Ears ringing : birds shrieking
Playfully
The faces softened briefly with a coke and a smile
True artists and extremely hard working
It maybe is a little creepy to see how much
Of all of this is ruled by money oh honey
That those muscles and vital energy are demanded
To be paid in full
Sometimes it’s best to stay away and leave them alone
