The bag is not hanging on the porch
without there being a complex network
of events set in motion
in the denied chapters of history
On who's land was the cotton grown?
With who's labour was the cotton picked?
Who made money selling the product?
Who's children stitched the seams?
What coffin slums were erected
to house those who toiled in the
factory farms of industry
producing 'popper' studs
No it is not simply a bag hanging on the porch
now seen through the failing light of a coming storm
