in passing (poem)



i happen to pass the address
and think
they’ve moved

in fact
my mind corrects me
this is two houses ago for them now

on the lawn i gather
someone’s discarded Pepsi can
along with my thoughts of them

although i know very well
the energy required to recycle these things
is almost more than they are worth

i put everything in the blue bin and
leave
