Poem
The Minutes Stand Still
Time is like a creeping tortoise here
The appearance of the crescent moon is ever near
With every deep breath I take
My lungs allow the dirt and dust to overtake
The loud hum of the sewing machines numb my head
I wonder if my body will make it into bed
With my back propped up on the stiff chair
Pressed next against these poor girls is all I can bear
Poor Father has not worked in weeks!
It is up to me to make enough money for even leeks
As my mind reflects on my future coming
I hear the familiar ‘Ding!’
Time for a 10 minute break!
For an education and books will never be in my wake.
