If Trash Could Talk
If trash could talk
Trash itself is attractive
...stains on a hankerchief
...a poem never read
Forensic science says that trash
it would reveal
deception and delusion
lust and greed
loneliness
hope.
cumulative
and self-feeding
it�s greatest qualities
unknown to those
who don�t re-evaluate it.
discarded without care
...a spent shield
wrapped within tissues
...a torn letter unintended
for familiar eyes
by anyone save the poet....
always talks
and so the poet searches
digs deep like a detective
to find truth and beauty
inside a garbage can.
