A litterbug
so soon after
a smoker
at a local ATM
(what fine examples
to our children
the smoker in uniform
employed just over
at the local clinic)
(not too soon after
a librarian’s parked car
is bumped by yet another
uniformed employee
who drives away)
It’s only a paper
It’s just a paper
how would it matter
in the bigger scheme
(are women and children at risk)
It’s only a paper
It’s just a paper
what would it matter
that we have
a World Clean-up Day
It’s only a paper
It’s just a paper
as one too many say
of the country’s constitution
It’s only It’s just
A new normal
or is it
