What
makes you care so much?
It doesn’t matter that you’ll never see
the fruits of your labor.
What makes your skin so tough?
It doesn’t break no matter how much
pressure comes to bear.
How do you laugh at the rain, at zero gain?
How do you laugh?
How do you carry on
when every moment you’re expected to do more with less?
So much it has gone wrong.
You can’t remember how you ended up in this ugly mess.
We gather strength from you.
Your tenacity buoys us up
and we grow courage like a weed.
