About the work

He wore this blazer for a job interview once, in the city. He didn’t get that job, or the one after it, or the one after that. He kept the blazer anyway, for some reason. Now, he wears it to walk the edges of the field, before the workers arrive, just after first light. It’s too good for the task, but he won’t throw it out. He knows it will outlast him, but not the earth.
