Interesting Finds...

A Poem by Onlyme

The garbage men

see everything

that you throw out.

As an inclination

of who you are.

So if you're a gym fanatic

you will have

health food wrappers,

fresh fruit peel,

gym box equipment

leggings, shorts, t-shirts

and weights.

Old gym and running

trainers in the bin

Along with protein drinks

and health bars wrap.

If you're a comfort eater.

He will see pizza boxes

burger wrappers,

coca cola bottles

and such like.

If you're a nymphomaniac.

condom wrappers,

old sex toys

and old porn magazines.

If you're a rambler

he will find

warm clothing,

waterproof spray

and old hiking boots

with banana skins

and apple cores.

With a lot of old

sandwich wraps.

And if you have just robbed

a bank.

And you live in a poor area.

And he suddenly finds expensive
Christian Louboutin shoes in the

rubbish

and an old broken

rolex watch.

He for sure

knows you came into

a whole lot of money.

If you're a bank financier

from Wall Street. NY.

He will find empty bottles of

Wine, Champagne

and expensive designer food wraps

like seafood and oysters and chavvier

along with expensive cigar butts.

And anyone homeless the rubbish they

have will be what they eat and use to

sleep on and live in.

Very powerful and true in so many ways. I like the idea that the trash man recognizes people or their status by the trash they throw away and what do they consume.
So, as a man is known by the company he keeps, so does another man is known by the trash they discard.
Awesome Dawn...
