Today, I want to express my gratitude
To all those assholes
Sorry! losers,
Who shed their human detritus
Along the roads I walk
And to their corporate sponsors
Dunkin’ with its Ecotainers,
McDonald’s,
Who apparently recycles
Only its buildings,
To tobacco killers,
To canners and bottlers
Of drinks, alcoholic and non,
And to preying lotteries
With their praying,
Scratch-off — throw-out tickets.
Thanks for giving my walks purpose —
Beyond the exercise my doc prescribes
And, in these troublesome times,
The calm of meditation,
Not to mention, license for open carry
Of those banned plastic bags,
Apart from dog and friends.
Thanks.
