The layout is perfect for the rhythm to shine here.
Sometimes the thoughts we have turn into fiery poems, and often those thoughts burn up before they get to the page.
WE hope to be able to scrape up some of the embers and still put a piece on the page.

This was a fun read. I was told you get more philosophical when smoking. Instead, you get the brain burn. Nice

I feel that you pulled a lot of Greek mythology inspiration here? I could be wrong. I like the piece

  Greco-Roman culture & philosophies, plus some New Testament references. Legionnaires, Roman soldiers with a particular skill at building roads, were not paid in gold but salt, which is where we derive the word ‘salary’. That might be somewhat of an urban legend, but it seems to be at least rooted in truth.
  
  Great eye again, thank you!!

I think many of us feel like machines. We work 9-5 jobs…like factory work, restaurant work…I did both.
Watched the clock…tried to have fun, but machines don’t laugh or cry.
This poem has a sense of rhythm that matches that routine…and the rhyme scheme is subtle but smart.

Really enjoyed and felt this read….related from my days before I got lucky and found teaching.
