Threshing Crew
The wash basin on the porch
as close as the men get to the parlor
or dining room
green lawn shade for furniture
soft enough for a quick nap for the young man
tasked with forking straw or shoveling out the wagon to bin
but quick alert to the smell of the roasted chicken
and fresh baked peach pie
meal served on the picnic table
for the dirt, clean and honest though it may be
must be left to the outdoors
or a dip in the cow tank
at dusk
