A story about women working
dying fabric weaving together
sweating and losing teeth together.
What if we were happier than we knew?
"Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron"
O, falling in love at the washboard-o,
We know
the record has holes,
the annals have gaps,
the suffering's assumed,
but what about joy?
What if history is full of plenty of
work and play and transcendentalism,
always?
Serfs who celebrate and cavepeeps who cavort,
and no one wrote it down for fear
of spoil
ing
the moment -
o?
i really love that eva's comments went through thrice, because, YES!!!
