Wind and Ground
Eugene "Gene" Novogrodsky
.,.have done that,
Too easy,
The wind drives branches and leaves bending,
Like a woman's hair tossed,
Her face hidden ....
Easy ....
Not as easy, her arms.
One bandaged from two-weekly plasma taking.
About 70 dollars,
More than her Mexican border factory job week.
Her other arm.
Wrist wrapped.
Scar to elbow.
Factory machine ripped her.
Tired, woozy she is.
And the wind powers ....

Why do you begrudge these people, Montoya? They are MEXICANS, like you!
Very poignant and graphic. Give blood, go buy groceries.
These people are heroes who don't have to be in Avengers movies to save lives. We need to thank them for their humble sacrifice. God bless them. Their precious plasma crosses borders and race lines!
