Universal Ohio

I'm not sure this poem has the right ending yet.

                                                                           Universal Ohio

                                                              (a factory in Twinsburg, Ohio - 1969)

                                                       We never knew what we were making there,
                                                       beyond minimum wage. And the company name
                                                       gave us no clue to the product we were producing.
                                                       As summer help, we just did what we were told:
                                                       swept the ever dirty factory floor,
                                                       carried heavy objects from one place
                                                       to another, held metal sheets for
                                                       the regular workers to hit with hammers
                                                       until our ears rang with the constant cry
                                                       of crickets – and punched the clock
                                                       every weekday, hoping to turn time
                                                       into money – until the day the band
                                                       saw nearly took off my thumb
                                                       and I decided minimum wage
                                                       was not enough.
