I Only Take Quarters (Cold Rinse)

The constant abrasion and decay of our lives makes the soil of our future growth. - Thoreau

i fall in life's mud

they wash my clothes to the hilt

leaving me in filth

Author's Note

"Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born?" - Thoreau
