The Humble Janitor

By Danny P. Barbare

PROMPT — The way I see it ...

Humble, says the janitor no

matter how less

or more

rich or poor

a broom in one hand

or rather a mop

wealthily

happily in

spirit and a shiny clean floor.

 

Danny P. Barbare works as a janitor with the Greenville County School District in Greenville, SC. He says poetry is a therapy that helps get him through the day. It is his muse. He writes from Greenville, SC.
