I am a bin man taking the trash
Loading up on peoples throw-outs
I seen my share of care
Fourteen cents and a dollar bill
In the back pocket of a pair of strides
And a full box of cigarillos on Tues-a-day
Tuesday afternoon with a stack o’Newsweek
That had been, hardly read
One ole’ woman wanted us to take her cat
It was dead, thats what she said
She cried when I said ‘No,
But that cat should be buried
My pay-check pays for my bills
Mose’ times but I ain’t no Leadbelly
I cane’ do nothin’ more than carry this trash
But I read the magazines when I get home.

I’ve been in the attic, I’ve been in the cellar, I raided my notebooks – I’M HAVING A YARD SALE – It’s a Car Boot – THEY’RE UNFINISHED LINES, unfinished poems, POEMS THAT MISSED OUT ON PREVIOUS RETROSPECTIVES, good ideas, maybe BAD IDEES, inspiration, OR JUST GOOD TITLES, MISFIRES, abortive attempts – IM CLEARING THE BACKLOG – opening up the the storehouse – I’M MILKING THE PAPS – so mother writer’s milk might flow on through!
