the following are poems from the working world documented in 2022
it’s only shoes and that is all
$10/hr and 2% commission
to sell footwear and foot accessories
that’s $200 worth of sales
to push for
every
hour
for an inactive store
to not make enough ($15)
2024 Catsup Editor’s note: Fifteen dollars an hour is laughable for a livable wage C’MON.
There was blood in the emergency kit (that wasn’t mine)
$13/hr + tips
eleven they said
after stating salary
when asked, thirteen
invasion of privacy — explain your resume history
tell us your story
tell us your life
explain why you left
forget no detail why
