15,714. DOING LIKE THIS

DOING LIKE THIS
The great carved bear was out
in the front, and the sign said 
'Big Dog' Firewood. I could see
what he meant, but these sorts 
of places aren't so special here.
Men work, and just walk away.
-
There are a hundred other things.
Just today the millwork guy asked
me to move my truck so he could
get the forklift by. OK, no sweat.
And then when he was done, we
moved me back to right where I'd
been. It's all as simple as spit.
-
I like that. That's what I thrive on.
Some guys sit around and read a
Shakespeare all day  -  picking 
'twixt doest and thine. I've got a 
Juliet in my pocket, and that's 
where she stays. The play's the 
thing, maybe, but I like the Act 
as well. (Doing, like this).
