Just Doing My Part

I stare at the box of dixie
cups

stacked in my cupboard.

I have more upstairs beneath
the sink.

little paper cups
for rinsing after a brush

or gargle.

nice little cups that old

a mere ounce or two of
water

or vodka if you need a quick
jolt
before

going to church or work.

I might have three hundred
dixie cups.

what do I do? keep them hidden?
I hate to throw them

away, but I feel that I must
do my part

in making America great again.

tonight i'm having Northern
Fried chicken

too. wish me luck on that.
