28th June 2025


The Scottish Play

extends its curse to doormen:

"Have a quiet night"

Who am I to careful wash and rinse clean

the stinky pouches of my dog's food packs

and make sure every piece of cardboard's been

freed of sticky tape and food-contaminated backs;

To separate my batteries and old wires

and put out rusty metal for the scrap;

refrain from burning green wood on my fires

and not recycle plastic birthday wrap.

While Bezos and his friends are burning cash

and jet in private planes across the sky

to have a destination wedding bash

and bask beneath the Papparazi eye.

 The resources of a singe wedding attendee

 wastes a lifetime of recycling by me.
