From bottles, to cartons and cans
  Can't we do better than that, man?

recycling water
from sink to spinach, gourds, vines

and this Mothers Day
Has left me to suppress thoughts,
from our past,
left curbside as rubbish;
That God never intended
to be recyclable;...

 Then when their finished,

Caterpillar has customized 
the skyline, 
leveling a peak to make 
more room for emptiness. 

At the end of life 
in a wounded land, 
there is only the endless 
recycling of memories....

Recycling Usage

Use the stones 
of my grave,
to build your home;
Use the wood
of my coffin, 
to heat your home up;
Use my bones
to feed your pet;
Use my memory
to define -
a loser....

In their wake the shifting sands bury secrets, centuries old.

Turning tides recycle sands and cleanse the womb, of Mother Earth.

the dying leaves of autumn have one last chase, before passing.

they will sleep in painted canvas ground, recycling themselves by spring.

Local authorities’ love recycling
It’s a green policy and its one that wins
They want to reduce the carbon footprint
Of the electorate, for their sins
But if they were truly serious
They’d stop making so many recycling bins...

From the garbage bins she took out the cans, 
On the station she had no fans. 
Wandering and lowering her gaze, 
Sighing and praying all in one phrase. 
Days later I saw her again, 
Muma won't wake up again,, she said in pain....

 The old barn
condemned;
fresh wood
for creative juices;
carved and whittled into
the most refined
picture frames,
you’ve ever
ever imagined
to don
a fine portrait...
condemned
to a new life.

my poems are crap
written on toilet tissue
waste bin overflows

I straighten each sheet
these words will get flushed away
perfect recycling!

socio economic pyramids and parallel o grams in space. 
I do like uncle sams green eggs and ham.
 Let the world crash, start over again. 
**** the student loans. 
They dont put you in prison for office crimes.
 Put your credit in the recycling center...

I’m waiting out the day
with minimalist hopes
and recycling anxiety.

I’m waiting for the hour
for a smooth transfer of power
or for things to go sour.

I’m waiting for the word
after a period of counting
for freedom’s call
or an accelerated freefall....

We don't discuss death
Civilized folk use funeral parlors
Funeral at home? Why on earth
We're good, clean entrepreneurs

The next generation never learn
How death is life, too, recycling
Part of life, why fear it, discern
God gives us children to go on living...
