It’s that time of year again (photo taken today). Wish I’d taken photos last year, when I wrote this though…
Two Fans
Two fans enthusiastically spin amongst
a pile of rubbish waiting for pick up,
roadside.
Through wind and rain, even thunder
“Look at me!” but nothing moved.
Clever stack.
Unlike No 2’s plant pots. Scattered
colorful rattles voicing the gusts.
Messy!
Drive-bys; inspection opportunists.
Recycling on a budget or business,
who knows?
Roadside shopping has rules. Don’t
muddle. Re-stack after inspection.
Carefully.
It’s bad manners to sort, scrounge,
accept or reject – pull apart, untidy,
then go.
