Who belongs to our community? Do the garbage men? Do we appreciate them? How can we show it?


Tuesday and Friday are garbage days

Tuesday one can for metal.

Friday are two cans:

One large can for recycling

One small can for composte

On each of those days i put out two plastic bottles of cold water on each can.

One for the driver, the other for the man who zooms and skips and hops and tosses the garbage cans.

After a month the miracle happened.

The garbage guys show their gratitude that I have acknowledged their existence, their worth,

and that I am appreciative of their contribution to my well being.

Without words they thank me for having touched them

by hauling the empty garbage cans down the asphalt driveway

to the bottom next to the garage doors where the cans stay the rest of the time

For a moment in time, we have touched!

MAGIC!!!!!!
