The Trash

 An empty can of Campbell’s.

A deflated rubber duck.

A page from a day calendar: April 4th.

A scratched CD.

A dried up orange highlighter

A tacky street sign from a bedroom door.

A broken radio stuck on the station that screams.

A plastic bag.

A test with 81% circled in the corner.

An empty water bottle.

A pair of batteries.

Yesterday’s dinner.

Today’s breakfast.

And you.
