In the trash
paper cup spills
cold coffee on
yesterday's news
covering lottery tickets
ripped in disgust
their corners red
with ketchup from
half-eaten fries
dripping grease on
ATM receipts, their
backs containing
To Do lists with
3 of 10 items
scratched out.
Bits of ice cream
cone sprinkle
a tissue used
to wipe baby's
mouth, next to
cigarette cellophane
crumpled under
candy bar wrappers
sticking on
a long distance
bill for 98
dollars, tossed
with lavender love
letters and torn
matchbook covers.Labels: poetry
