Sample excerpt
Plant closed the same year my daughter learned to walk, I picked up two trades in fourteen months. Nobody wrote a song about that year, so I wrote one in my head on the drive.
This is for the ones who clock in without applause, for the night shift and the thermos and the cold. The country on the television isn't mine, mine starts at five and doesn't complain.
Workshop note — First person, past tense, dignity of labor. Heartland rock names jobs, hours and towns: the pride lives in the fact, not the adjective. At 122 BPM long lines work if they end on a concrete noun.
