The grain

I am not light.
The Great Working World may
crush me in its daily path
under the philistine sun. Every day 
I wake 
up to placate the fear that some part 
may break performing the necessary 
function, which would be embarrassing, 
yes, but more imminently, the Great 
Working World may crush 
me in its daily path
under the philistine sun.
