driving away slow
enchanted by metaphors…
rice pelting our car
white picket fences ahead
dented cans streaming behind

DENTED CANS
Took a bag of trash
To the curb inside the bag
Garbage, dented cans

Now here's something I've never thought of before
How'd they get the air in those aerosol cans I implore
A major phenomenon
Need help from dear mom
Mom knows everything, she's smart to the core
"dented cans"
bad plans
"dented cans"
beware spams
"dented cans"
could be sans
"dented cans"
metaphoric sham's

There is something to savour
in that very first nick
blemish
scratch
dent
What ever it may be
it's yours now
baptized
utilized
broken in
There is utter liberation
a tossing of fears
as pristine
can't
dented can

"Dented Cans"
Lost...
To the sound of quaters falling into a soda machine
Empty...
Because when it's gone, I'll still be thristy
Lost...
To the day..
To a time when the sun could open a soul
A time of warmth
Of hot concrete on bare feet
When warm grass felt like cold sand.
Empty...
Soda Can
And I'm still thristy

Benican said he could,
Jerrican was quite full,
Pellican catch a fish,
Jellican wobble in a dish,
Daisican grow a flower,
Wellican provide a shower,
Barbican cut your hair,
Terrican eat a pear,
Jonican throw a lance,
Cancan is an exciting dance,
Billican boil some tea,
Would you sit and have some with me,
..............can you?................
dry cans in cellars full of sweet fruit
covered in dust are beatiful in a way.
all with labels peeling.
the iconic cambells soup cans in tarnished
red and white
set on the shelf like rusty bells on
a church steeple.
not like the empty mason jars on
the front porch half filled with rain.
half with childhood memories of
grasshopper guest and fire fly delights.
Form:
Lifelong series, proliferation of dreams
Procrastination pushes cans to rear shelf
Crushed pineapple replaces peaches and creams
Depleted pantry unenvisioned of self
Back burners overwrought iron pans of sin
Awaiting an opener, woman of tin
Lifelong series, ambitions, intended plans
Plentiful in could haves, instead, dented cans

Contest: Dented Cans
Hosted by: John lawless
Senior year, student government
I couldn’t do anything right
When told to paint the trash cans
Our class colors, blue and white
I added my own touch to the job
Always doing too much
Scrawled my name on all the bins
Hoping to gain more fame
Some thought I was uncool, to
Expose myself to the whole school
All I was supposed to do
Was to paint the trash cans blue
The next year they were painted red
I was forgotten like I were dead
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 see them as a heap of trash
for others, essential to live.
