The recycling bin is always full.
We drink a lot of wine and still get a newspaper. But it’s that land-fill bin that pulls on the heartstrings: that which lands here is doomed to eternal existence. Plastic and more plastic, enclosed in bubble wrap. Forever. I might have hoped that what lived beyond my time on planet would be a life’s work, or children, or even a poem or two, but really the lasting legacy goes out weekly in the grey landfill can. |
