the trash collector comes every wednesday

(just a poem I wrote one day after taking out the garbage.)

The trash collector comes
every Wednesday
at the exact same time
as the Wednesday before

the trash collector is
a nice man who has
big pockets and dreams
of moving on up to brighter
things

he says he wants to be a chemistry
teacher,

and demonstrates this
by turning a pile of old
bottles
into a diamond.
