County Trash Detail

Number
Four two four one
Cars racing by stealing
Images of consequences
Entertaining clowns collecting their trash
“That could be me” clicking tongues chirp
Four two four one just smiles
Those were his thoughts
Before

Interesting form that's new to me, James. Those last three lines carry your message home nicely. We see the trash collectors and fail to realize they probably had other aspirations, just as we do. Great entry for Deb's contest, Jimbo. Winning wishes coming your way. Love, Carolyn
