Smash, Bang, Smash, Bang

Routine and respect for nature.

Smash, bang, smash, bang…

garbage cans sound against the truck outside.

Smash, bang, honk, honk, a car swerves by the workers.

I wait.

Wince, but give thanks for taking my trash.

I wait.

Silence,

I know what comes next.

Sing, chirp, tweet, chirp…

the day has officially begun,

nature given credence again.
