It contains over-stretched socks
Used paper plates and wrappers
Tags from new clothes
And chains of old jewelry.
It's filled with emptied water bottles
A shoebox that held camera lensese
shipped from family in Kentucky
Maybe one day this poem
will join in the collection
of old, used, and broken items
In my trash can

We had to look in our trash cans in our rooms/bathrooms and write a poem about what was inside.
