a plastic bottle

a plastic bottle is thrown across the street by cars
a rush of gasoline and fumes
that bottle, I think to myself, is me.

the wind pushes it on as it hesitantly rolls forwards
the wind, I think to myself, is my breath
harsh and inconsistent
troubled
it has no problem pushing me out onto the street

the bottle gets crushed underneath my feet
