"The Garbage Man Poet"

The Garbageman Knows
He knows when you party,
and when you barbeque-
bottles, cans, and disposables amass.

He knows your Christmas gifts,
and those for the wedding and baby-
the boxes tell all.

He knows spring cleaning day,
and when someone passes-
former treasures become trash.

He can guess your income level,
and even your personality-
by the brands and the cleanliness of your can.

He knows what you value
by what you throw away.
Would you be embarrassed
to face him on garbage day?

This poem was inspired by the book Garbageland by Elizabeth Royte
