I am Now

Not without

language, I am now-

all but languages.

Not without

border, I am now-

all but borders.

Not without

sight, I am now-

all but sights.

Not without

sound, I am now-

All but sounds:

Garbage

Throwing away two pieces of quinoa bread:

There are those unfed and hungry on their way to bed.

What of them?  Can they reach for your garbage

Of plastic, your very own signature made to outlast you, them, us and ours.
