Styrofoam Dreams
Location
Whilst walking down the sidewalk,
she saw a large Styrofoam fountain drink.
Damn it, she thought, why do people litter?
She went home slightly irritated.
Whilst walking down the sidewalk three days later,
she saw a medium Styrofoam fountain drink next to the other.
Interesting, she thought, someone is bored.
She went home slightly intrigued.
Whilst walking down the sidewalk two days later,
she saw a can of Diet Coke next to the others.
Funny, she thought, someone has a sense of humor.
She went home slightly amused.
Whilst walking down the sidewalk later that night,
she saw a broken Styrofoam cup,
another on its side,
and a can crushed.
She went home slightly saddened.
