the recycler man asked.
Did you learn about anything , say?  precious on
your way to the dump?
Did you see , perhaps, briefly, maybe
one thing, a glimpse of tin or aluminum
as you sped all along the Highway 57
or County road 439? ...that you may have thought appealing?
that to the more common man,
might have seemed like junk or garbage or
insignificant. Did you build another's confidence
perchance along the way? Or find his stash of cans?
Did you notice ? Did you notice?
Did you?  gold is right there,
in another's trash ,
How the meanings were so raw
and you passed right by,
rushing to die.Well, I can give you 1
cent on the pound for all the gold and silver
you accrued. For your bank account , though,
and insurance, I gave you a wife, and your children.
Eternity, was then and infinity , recycled
again and again.  
Go back to the end
of the line.
