The fence line (1st draft)


Red brand steel barbed wire, treated posts and green steel T's

Leather bag of Staples, new gloves and black handled pliers

Early mornings in the pickup balancing steaming cups of coffee

Green spring grass full of dew and a small circle full of liars


Monday on the fence line starts with tales of the weekend rodeos

We pound posts, stretch steel, and dig holes in the ground

We tell jokes and have a laugh at Saturday night's failed romeo

We hustle and sweat all week until Friday rolls back around


Building our line, mile after mile

Hard work pays in a simple kind of style
