Basically unrelated to my poem, here is a picture of a trashcan in Aachen, Germany. As part of an initiative to get citizens to clean up the town, they starting making talking trashcans. I wasn’t going to throw my garbage on the ground regardless, but I love this little guy! He is telling me how fun cleaning is.
Back to business, I wanted to share a poem I recently had published, Rear Window on Wheels. You can check it out here, on The Flexist.
