Going underground

They went underground wanted, being wanted down a hole. They were not rebels nor sheeters of a body’s history behind iron.

They went in a hole like Sita ,not to return only to be blamed for the poverty not committed. They are not wanted by history.

No one wants manhole workers. Their job is shitty and their clothes smell a city’s gentrified morals. The bread in their mouth is putrid.

(Three days ago four city workers died in a manhole they had entered for a cleanup)
