GARBAGE Dark & rainy morn, quiet on the side streets. Early workers rising, lights against the night. The rest of us are sleeping. Drops up on the roof top. Puddles froming on the ground. A distant rumble sounds. Punch a time clock, start up a cold truck. Thermos full of coffee. Streets before the dawn. Big city ghost town. All right all night greasy spoon. Cops and crazies roaming. Ride through darkness morning. Banging clanging cans and bottles smashing Lifting dumping tons of waste each morning Rotting stinking food unused for eating ???? Machine mouth opens hungrily Residential silence shattered. Window rattle, bleating Dogs begin to bark. Angry sleepers open wide Cats go under bed. Quickly move from house to house Small can into large, dump large can into garbage barge. |
