wood chopper
fiction
edward w pritchard
Two million years of evolution
supply short powerful arms
a broad patient back
ideal for chopping wood
wood, unyielding and inflexible
axe, properly sharpened
sweating face doused with cold water
toil continues doggedly
beyond stoicism or existentialism
optimism about average
duty marching on
strokes of axe violent and explosive
wood chips flowing and flying
the wood slowly pliable
order eventually regained
