Our Ocean by: Samantha Getz, Mixed Media, 2019
Always Full
The trash bin
Will never be empty.
Technically that’s not wrong.
Sure it was empty before purchase,
But anyways.
Whether in an office
A classroom,
Kitchen,
In front of the driveway
On Friday mornings,
Taking out trash is inevitable.
Pointless endeavor
Must be done.
Sisyphean
In nature.
Cruel cycle of
Fullness and
Emptiness.
Fate of all trash.
