Trash!

Delete, efface, cancel, expunge
TRASH!
Delete, efface, cancel, expunge
TRASH!

Away I take my time to take it
Away I take time then take it

TRASH!

This is the time it must me taken away
This is the time when we cart it
When we smell a wafting molecular menace

TRASH!

She will come around the bend at  dawn
A 10 ton rear-loading dump truck
That sends mice scattering down the street when they her compressor compress



Under the crushing weight there is no time to decompose
no time to filter out what might not belong
Everything is here: in this mozaic of refuse
The music of Bach flows

It is long after the picnic we took in the heat of Pompei 

Today we trash it
Then sit down with a glass of wine and enjoy the day
