working stiff blues
a good slap front and back palm and dorsal across a haggard face ring this bell give me a reason hooky is what i’m looking for see that it’s Dylan Thomas’ and Joaquin Phoenix’s birthdays well, Thomas yesterday i missed it and reason enough now let me do my best to celebrate just read a Buk poem about all the hours he’d sweated and bled for the man and the shaking, convulsions, the repulsion and all that it wasted and crushed except and most importantly the spark of his being to all the stiffs who just keep on punching that clock that refuses to stay down for the count cheers the weekend at last
So, I’ve been wondering about the origin of the term, “working stiff”.
Is it referring to stiff as in corpse? Stiff as in bad sleep, hence working stiff?
Things that make you go hmmmmmm. Your thoughts?
Would have liked this sooner but I worked all weekend😵💫
