White Caps by Debra Monte Wetzel
Up on high they sit and figure Who needs their job to live Or who does their job yet lives. Well fed Not well read. Calculating and cunning Spinning lies in order to rise. They sit looking down over stacked chins, Content in their positions Watching while every one else works. Works to pick up the pieces. Works to maintain balance Works to make ends meet.
