Minimum Wage Lament Poem by Alistair Adkinson

Minimum Wage Lament



When the sun comes up tomorrow
I could run away
Change my name
And seek fortune and fame

I could call my boss from the plane
“Screw you, sucker, ” I’d exclaim
As I flew off out of frame

With a jet-fuel trail refrain
With a jet-fuel trail refrain

Ahh, so much sorrow in one word, 'could'.
