apologies to Paul Newman

finally.
i find a few free hours to get rid
of all the old
salad dressings
in the refrigerator.
i count ten.
some i use a spackling
knife
to pry them
off the shelves.
i pull the trash can
closer
and get on my knees.
i begin.
thousand island,
blue cheese,
bacon ranch and sweet basil.
sorry Paul
Newman,
oil and balsamic vinegar,
five years old, you too
have to leave.
