By exploring specific helicity states in quark-gluon scattering at tree level we show explicitly that the full t-channel pole can be described exactly as a contraction of two local currents. In the four cases of helicity assignment where a channel exists also for qQ-scattering, qg-scattering is described exactly by this t-channel pole. Only in two of the four remaining helicity assignments is there a contribution from u- and s-channel poles. We extract a gauge-invariant definition for the t-channel current generated by the scattering of a gluon and offer an interpretation of the form.
