This terse handwritten page contrasts 'CLEAN RAGS' with dirt uniforms, turning clothing into a blunt image of work, class, and condition.

The plural 'uniforms' broadens the image from one garment to a repeated social condition. The fragment is tiny, but it feels like a title and thesis at once.

A two-line handwritten page that sets a title against its own image: 'CLEAN RAGS' followed by 'And dirt uniforms.' The clean and the soiled are held in one breath, a compressed working-class snapshot that reads as much like a title-and-thesis as a finished poem.
