Awesome job.
the emotional response i arrive at with this poem is one of irony.
I use to work for a Greek Chef at a mall restaurant called Little Athens. The chef for 86 (now 90). I found myself being the teenage minimum wage Little Athens scapegoat.

I like the imagery of slave, as well as (potential) liberation in the form of a high powered truck. let me tell you in montana i see that imagery as another form of material slavery (aka i can get to where most truck want to get to in a chevy cavalier).

regaurdless loved the poem and the punk kids (myself included) thinking they have an accurate representation of post-modern upward mobility.

Thanks for the read. It is interesting to see the memories and emotion the work pulls from those that choose to read. The writing of this piece was not easy because it speaks to an important issue from a perspective not thought of normally.
