Couples regularly grace my window ledges nothing against a show of affection at a certain moment, have to close up want to see them take their embrace home it's so late at night I ride the metro late at night another rider pulls his last fag lights inhales a long drag then tosses an empty in plain sight the why care attitude is relatively new to me came back into a world of the 'service follows me'. Got to watch where my paper wrappers go into a refuse bin where litter doesn't show there is a place to discard the unsightly arguably there and determined keep the area free of vermin in a sweep the couple rises from romantic embraces nothing like a show of affection, while I lean against my broom in reflection of another night of patience at my expense I have to close the premises for the night stack the chairs, piled out of sight to ride subway where other wrappers blow in Embrace the clutter of cartons out of their bins. |

I suppose these thoughts might be in the head of a cafe owner sweeping up after his fair share of clientele..there's a photographer who captures the look. |

Martin, Ain't it the truth. I taught my kids to not be litterbugs. But one time I was driving with my son, he was 16, and I was angry. I through my gum wrapper out the window proclaiming I was in a littering frame of mind. He displayed that back to me the next day. Neither one of us have littered since! Good write... If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
