Today I was walking to school, and it was Wednesday, so, evidently, there was trash pickup all over the place. So I got this idea. To put such unorthodox beauty into words:

Today I was walking on the sidewalk
On the way to school.
When the garbage truck caught up with me.
It constantly went along side of me.
Stopping, letting me go ahead, catching up, stopping, and yet again.
It kept staying with me.
Like a hungry dog,
hesitant about taking the food from a stranger.
Moving, stopping, moving sporadically, but with order.
Constructive chaos.
When we reached the end of the block,
It turned the corner.
My eyes turned the corner too.
What wonderful company.
What unorthodoxy.
Such beauty in the eyes of such audacity.

Wow... garbage trucks are finally appreciated . Nice job

hahaha ! yes they are finally being noticed! I just passed one today!

thats so cool...i love how you wrote that and with such a unique concept. great job.

It was funny how it actually happened too. It was weird, it going forward, then me going ahead of it, it speeding up, stopping to pick up a trash can, I get ahead, etc. etc. It was like having a friend walk with me
