the garbage man

it's trash night.

again.

it seems like just yesterday

when i hauled

it all out

to the curb, after dark, 

of course,

i don't want to upset the mayor

of the court

and her friends.

where is all this trash

coming from?

i don't understand all these

bags and boxes,

newspapers and magazines.

these bottles and cans.

who makes all this

garbage?

i'm just one man.
