Sanitation workers

 Enough with love and beauty

Sanitation workers need a poem

Or even a statue in the park

Honoring them for lifting the endless 

Cans and poorly bundled sticks

That annoy the hell out of them

The stench too as they hop on

And off the truck, dancing to the music 

Of brakes and noisy lifts 

Anyone thank them or slip them

A crisp twenty dollar bill

So how many cans make a career

Or rainy days or tons of garbage

That disappears like they do

From our consciousness
