It is a dangerous thing
to have in the yard.
It beckons –
give me that thing
you do not want.
I will make it
simply go away.
Do not bother to
re-gift or refresh it,
to re-sell or recycle.
Do not spend a
moment’s thought
or energy on how to
repurpose or reuse.
Drunk with freedom,
I dump.
Ashamed of the waste,
I dive …
… and much that
was abandoned
returns to be
reconsidered.
