trash

At every gas stop along the way, he pulls out trash with his wallet.
A scrunched up sheet of off-white paper
and a smaller one – a post-it.
Out, up for air and then he
bends over to close a hand on them
and pull them back up
off the shadow stained concrete where they fell.
He straightens himself out a bit.
He slaps his pants.
And then he pushes them back down.
Back down deep.
Into place.

    trash-overstuffed wallets and pockets prevent the next evolutionary step. this guy is on a path to oblivion. purge! you don’t need your blockbuster video card — just show your license for heaven’s sake.
    “I have found little that is good about human beings. In my experience most of them are TRASH.
