    Unemployment is a fascinating poem/story, I have never imagined the job the Mexican man once had, brutal. Also brutal to not have it, enjoyed this one!

    Thanks A,

    I really like his work. It's clear and yet textured. I like how you mention the brutality of the job and the lack of it. I will steal that next time I teach this.

    :-)
