Safe Disposal

Tape up the sharp edges.

Gather the glass in a container.

Give the old prescriptions back to the pharmacy.

Electronics go to recycling.

Poop picked up and thrown away properly.

Only in the wilderness should things be left to go wild.

Our planet depends on us respecting it.

I’m Stinky

Overripe smells

emanate from under the shoulders.

Bathing would feel so good.

Except I turned on the dishwasher

and so have a conundrum.

Do I take a shower with intermittent hot/cold spurts

or can I withstand the stench

until it is my turn to bathe?

If I could write a book

If I could write a book

it would mean I believed in myself.

If I could write a nook

it would show those who had no faith in me.

If I could write a book

it would mean I did what I dreamed of.

If I could write a book

I would be happy.

If I could write a book

and people liked it

is something I still dream of.
