Step outside
Smokem if you gottem
Best friend in Tennessee
Chose the brand
He said he liked the label on the carton
Deep breath, February air
Meant more, younger
Long nights shared.
A cluttered yard
Biodegradables
They don't last
All you see are the plastics
Birthday balloon; Chewed up whiffle bat
A doll's brush
Words you can't take back
Locally produced Plastic bags
Trampoline coil
Deep, forgotten yearning
An oil filter
a face you can't place
Arm to an awning
Promises over boxed wine
a half-buried piece
of aluminum foil
Forgotten pleasures
Sunken costs
A lid to Streamer
Sponsored applesauce
Busy thoughts left inside.
Noone visits.
Please don't mind.
Clean screens
Don't disturb the dust on top
A drone feeds the kids
Streamer-sponsored Applesauce
Content, entertained
Little blue-lit faces.
Will never know what's lost.
After all,
Free Applesauce
And all that's left are plastics.
