Den’s Rice Paddies

No one works the paddies anymore.
The old gave up the game.
Enough Work like slaves.
Good season, Bad season. Always the last baht in the pocket.
Never the first. Work sunrise. Sunset.
Breaking back
Breaking feet
Come home at night
The radio on
Playing Luk Thong.
A good day
Today.
Children’s bellies full
Wife smiling
Happy
And a bottle of lao khao
To celebrate
The end of the day
Happy
Chai yo!!!
