The pitter-pat of gentle rain
The quiet whoosh of summer
breeze
The grind and clank of
garbage trucks
I missed my trash day once
again.
The pile grows throughout the
week
Neighbors giving me the eye
Squawking crows will soon
compete
with dogs, raccoons and
flies.
Driveway strewn with orange
peels
empty cans in disarray
Envelopes that carried bills
I was very late to pay.
Old Kleenex that once caught
a sneeze
Candy wrappers – Hershey Bar
The quiet whoosh of summer
breeze
Across my lawn it’s spread
quite far.
Had I not hit the snooze
alarm
ten more minutes – let
me sleep
All my trash would do no harm
I instead just counted sheep.
