My Things Are Trash Now Because They’re Old

S sneaks CD jewel cases into a paper bag
Along with plastic apples and bananas

Calls it “grocery shopping”
She’s thrilled to have a job

Now stuffing them into a garbage bag
Nothing if not helpful

Did you wear your headphones
In the grocery store?
my wife asks

I hate when people do that
Like it or not it’s my entire life story

Even at 43 listening to the new album
By a 29-year-old as I attempt to ferret out

The one box of organic raspberries
That won’t go moldy in two days

    WORD!

  2. I maintain the right to wear headphones (earbuds) in the grocery store! Grocery store sounds are not good! (Tho sometimes their music makes me laugh.)

  3. Man I love these ideas! How the market bags and the trash bags are the same bag, trash is only old new stuff. Obsolescence/luminescence.

    Life story!!
