8638. JUST LIKE HANGING WIRE

JUST LIKE 

HANGING WIRE

The footstools and the pedestals, 

nothing will help. This is all too 

high to reach. We'll have to hang 

it with wire. The guys from Abbe

Lumber will know. I see them

often enough, in the early morning;

I mean real early, and even in the

winter too: 6am, the one with the

frosty fork lift setting up a load.

I watch them as I wait for the train.

The flatbed is out by the side, and

the forklift guy fills the order  -  it

all goes down on the truck, the 

2X4's, the 2X8's, the plywood, 

the 4X4's and all that stuff. Noise 

and clang, and they wrap it all

with metal strap, and off he goes.

The truck driver, not the fork-lift

guy  -  he's on the next order.
