Over Summer: A life in numbers
Over summer I sit counting bins: one, two, three … 54, 55.
Again. One, two, three … 26, 27.
Again. One, two, three … 67, 68.
Over and again.
On a forklift.
Over summer I make meatballs: one, two, three … 19, 20.
Again. One, two … 15, 16.
Multiples of four. Fed.
Again.
I collect eggs: one, two, three, four, five.
Again. One … five, six.
Again. Six chooks.
Every day. Fed.
Two guinea pigs.
Over summer empty rubbish bins: one, two, three … 23, 24.
For cows. One bull.
Again.
Wash bins: one, two, three … 23, 24.
Full deck of bins. Clean.
Again.
Empty trailers: one, two, three; one, two three; one, two, three;
Waltz. The Bins.
On and off. On and off. On and off.
Three, six, nine … 21, 24, 27.
Sleep.
Again.
