Poem:
My Mother Enters the WorkForce
Poem by Rita Dove
The path to ABC Business School
was paid for by a lucky sign:
ALTERATIONS, QUALIFIED SEAMSTRESS INQUIRE WITHIN.
Tested on sleeves, hers never puckered—puffed or sleek,
leg-o’-mutton or raglan—[1]
they barely needed the damp cloth
to steam them perfect.
Those were the afternoons. Evenings
she took in piecework,[2]the treadle machine
with its locomotive whir
traveling the lit path of the needle
through quicksand taffeta
or velvet deep as a forest.
And now and now sang the treadle,
I know, I know. . . .
And then it was day again, all morning
at the office machines, their clack and chatter
another journey—rougher,
that would go on forever
until she could break a hundred words
with no errors—ah, and then
no more postponed groceries,
and that blue pair of shoes!
