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.
