Beneath obvious

Don't tell me my labor is wasted
because you don't know what I do
I'm busy running the universe
adjusting every screw


I work below the surface
on planetary gears
making this world
seem less absurd
no matter what appears


In this shallow trench
with turn of wrench
I know what to expect
although you blench
my fear I quench
so show me some respect

Thanks to The Mag

Surreal and powerful all wrapped up in one great poem.

You mean without you the world would be MORE absurd? (just kidding) Strong rhyme and rhythm, nice job.
