Ugly Plastic Fern

Doctor’s office
The fern in the corner is plastic
They couldn’t afford silk?
There is nothing refreshing about it

There is a candy jar
The old guy has been up there six times
I know because he brings the wrapper to me
I am sitting next to the wastepaper basket

That fern is disturbing
Anything that ugly should not be shared
I would be doing them a solid
If I put it into the wastepaper basket with these wrappers
