Dented Cans
DENTED CANS At first pristine in form and colour bright They glittered in the clear warm air of youth With dreams and goals attainable in our sight Then framed in words unstrained by filtered truth To have, to do, to be, without a question With faith that what’s imagined may gain life Those holy grails of dreams beyond suggestion Before opposing forces entered...

Dented Cans
I remember those Dented tin cans The string communication Of my childhood. We lived in first story houses, Telling their fourth or fifth As we stood on the other side Of a world without the grey. Eyes screwed shut, We shouted excitement into Our fathermade walkie talkies Chicken noodle Clam Chowder We were always running wild Chasing what we already had Our adventure and That’s gone You said Life ends...

Premium Member Ethical Dilemma of the Dented Cans
Walking, walking, walking, walking, Slower and slower and slower, And s-l-o-w-e-r, And s-s-l-l-o-o-w-e-r still. Barely moving... Eyes shut tight... Footsteps weaving... Intestines heaving... Racked by Hunger and Thirst, Thirst and Hunger, Hunger and Thirst: Woe is He and He is Woe; He'll die of Starvation, Unless his throat cracks first... ...Lost in a desert of endless sand, So many poets choose to end Such a tale without taking a...

A Messed Up Dented Can
I saved all my pride, held pain deep inside, oh, how I tried… But he was just a man, who couldn’t understand, who I really am- a messed up dented can. With nowhere to run, and all madness undone, bleeding just for fun. But he was just an old soul, tried to push when I’d pull, his life took a sorry toll, with a dented...

Cans lie strewn, litter tossed away, discarded trash. Dents - defile, deform the perfect container form. Wanton abuse uncalled-for. ...

To many, a child in the nineteen fifties dented cans were important we used them in various ways they became our childish telephone stretched across a room connected by a long piece of string we had rubbed with candle wax it never really worked... but we never cared we would stand empty dented cans around the house and place them strategically... our own little army then...

Lowly, faded, dented cans discarded and unseen where you have been and gone what journeys in your dreams? You’ve sat upon the shelves of dingy discount stores imperfect cans that feed the hungry, downcast poor. Then whisked you into bins in piles that climbed so high to eagerly be found and recycled for some dimes. There is a place for dented cans a humble way they give some...
