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.

we own our choices good or bad. And for those we regret, we can ask forgiveness and do what we can of good deeds to even up the ledger. Similar to what the Chorus in Oedipus spoke of at his end.
Fate took him in one direction…he attempted to take himself as far as he could in the other before his death.
Really good piece.

I really appreciate an honest piece like this. The inner monologue was captivating. Thanks for sharing it.
