Get To Know Me Before You Ride My Bumper

In Jorge the Church Janitor Finally Quits by Martín Espada, Jorge the janitor feels like he is undervalued and underappreciated. When Jorge says “No one knows that I quit tonight, maybe the mop will push on without me” he is telling us that he quit his job because no one appreciates his work and they will probably not even notice that he is gone. If I made a bumper sticker to represent this story it would say “Get To Know Me Before You Ride My Bumper.” This phrase could convince people that they should take the time to get to know someone instead of just taking advantage of them.
