act one scene one

 Hey my name is virgil Burney and im a garbage collector.Every day i have to wake up and be on the back of the truck and collect the garbage. ive  asked my manager to let me drive the truck because im capable but he says no  everytime .it may be because of my race most black folk are on the back collecting the garbage while the whites drive.I do not  like this job but its the only thing ive been able to get into.The other alternative job i have is a mechanic or store type of job.But this is my life and what i do to make it by and its somthing that can keep food on the table for my family.
