    • 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!!

      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.
