The Contents of My Wastebasket

Baggie, tin foil, pizza box that entered much too soon before I had the chance to read the baking instructions.

Tissues, red bull cans, graded busy work that earned it's keep after a professor marked it with a big red "X."

Mummified tea bags drained of every last living drop, miniature candy bar  wrappers, a dumb drawing of a cow dressed as Spider-man.

Guitar strings, chewed gum, a news article about the house I burned down.

Love notes, crumpled paper cups, and a used band-aid.
