A smaller pile would be nice.

So this is what we do
make more
for what?
This shit is plastic
it breaks
we melt it down
and make more?
We box it
wrap it up more
for its own safety.
Place it in a bin
does it arrive at the facility
to melt it down
or within a pile of rubbish
to sit and wait?
I’ve heard bacteria could eat it
we’ve done stupider shit
pile it up
release some bacteria
let it feed
see what happens
why not?
A smaller pile would be nice
I don’t see it
so either way
I’m like that’s ok
just get it out of my home.
Take the trash
make art if you want
I don’t want that either
just clutter
you sell to me
thinking what a brilliant thought
and I’m like
I didn’t want that box
I didn’t want that can
I just ate the soup
so like why would
I want it with your face?
Maybe if I’m told
your special
by the right art folks
I’ll buy it for thousands
because I’m just another fool.

Thanks for reading.
