coincidence, garbage, litter, lost, personification, poem, searching, stories
Things that people seem to care about for a short time:
Cigarettes, soda pop, old mismatched socks,
Receipts, crumpled wrappers, abandoned bottle caps,
Straws, cellophane bags, empty beer cans,
All littered beside cars and sidewalks.
Telling the dismantled story of the city refuse…
Speaking to those who don’t care to look up,
Who over-analyze the little things.
Those who seek sychronicity
And find it in the gutters…
Personifying garbage to elevate ourselves.
