the garbage man comes
picking up yesterday’s memories
in plastic bags
and wooden boxes
leaving behind
empty tin pails
to be filled up again
with today’s remains
Had a dream last night, I was the ruler of a land
Made weekends four days long, imagine if you can
How popular I was
Cheered and beloved
Then I woke and realized my job was a garbage man
Had a dream last night, I was the ruler of a land
Made weekends four days long, imagine if you can
How popular I was
Cheered and beloved
Then I woke and realized my job was a garbage man
Hugo was a huge hurricane in Carolina
Unfortunately I was homeless then
Right then God being the designer
Red shelter found with kind garbage man
I had a three month old baby boy
Cherry cries for he felt my fear
Angels seem to fill amber void
Needing grace God kept us near
Embrace of His hand so dear
we run off the path, orange dog and I
Some try to get us back on it, but why do they try?
We like running off road, it feels better on our feet
At the end of the road a butcher gives my dog meat.
We run off the path, because we can.
It makes some crazy, especially the garbage man.
He toots his horn and points to the road and I laugh.
No one can tell me where to run like a giraffe.
wear pajamas to breakfast if you can
this was said by my cute guy garbage man
he is a witty guy, this man named Stan
He said it to my dementia-teetering grandma Nan
She showed up in the cafeteria in her pajamas too
They have cartoon ponies on them in pink and blue
No one noticed, for the rest of them were casual at this meal.
No one hustled her back to her room, it was no big deal.
A site like this is wonderful you see...
where we can write and just be..
A place in life where no one see's our
height or weight or what we believe..
Whether Im a doctor or a garbage man
you cant see, Im only judged from what
you see..
A place we can share our thoughts and dreams..
A place where everyone's so nice it seems..
So let our pen's flow and continue to share...
Such wonderful poems because you know I care..
Police and fire sirens blare
An early emergency somewhere
Neighbor’s water squeaking thro’ the pipes
Two cats clawing each other’s stripes
Traffic hums and honks, tires squeal
In such a hurry…what’s the big deal?
Mower of lawns and whacker of weeds
Garbage man missed: in-reverse beeps
Nearby pickup started and revved up loud
I’m not quite used to this urban crowd
Cell phone buzzes, again I slap the snoozer
I wonder: would I prefer a rooster?
When I was young,
knee-deeped in school,
teachers threatened.
"You'll be a garbage man.
If you don't start cracking
at those books, better then
that you shouldn't plan".
Now after grade school & a civil service test.
I'm out here in the streets.
Picking up the trash you throw away.
At seven-fourteen a week.
I have no brains; the hell I don't!
There's no pressure on this job.
I just pick up what you throw away,
and it's really not that hard.
