It's Trash Day

so get rid of the stuff

that you don't need

make sure you check the kitchen

and the back yard.

recycle the recyclables

the rest we throw "away"

although there is no "away"

for which to throw things

it's just somewhere else.

While you are at it

get rid of your

preconceptions

your worn out notions

all the complex

images of the world,

the half truths

that you use to

prop up

your unreal view

of reality.

You will be happier if you do

And get rid of that extra twenty pounds

heck

make it an even 23

it's trash day
