Gleaner I
I am the kind that for a sesame seed
Would give up a huge melon, fat offer
to make hundreds in an hour tutoring.
A day’s work a mouth hardly could feed
eking out an existence by collecting
Red beans and mung beans when ripe
Would pop from their pods by nature
There are oft some pods late to mature
That remain sealed, maybe the autist type
A collection of a carton comes to a cup
More are in the field all scattered on
And I kneel down to pick them one by one
How i warship their lavish,
They are worth my every ravish
Just when i am moved by my enterprise
I come to disdain my work as pointless
Many a grain in the wild would sprout off hand
Into new plants to produce more on earth
But into me, what would come out of worth
Since i am as barren as a concrete waste land
