I watched them pack sunflowers
I watched them pack autumn leaves
I watched them pack orange berries
amidst stems and wreaths
I watched them count
I watched them punch it in
I watched them count
I watched them pack
it in…
to oversize black garbage bags,
Autumns last breeze.
It will not compost
As it is mostly plastic
Nor be loved
or be seen for a million years
lest humans dig it up
in search of yesteryear.
I see things everyday not unlike you.
I do things everyday not unlike you.
Some of these things deeply concern me.
At 80% off they didn’t sell
and
I moved Christmas into it’s place.
