in the style of the afternoon

I watch the dog lick flour off the floor
watch out Chloe it's raw
She sniffs the trash can
and I'm worried about recycling
the greasy noodles left in the cup
I heard China isn't taking our shit anymore
and I want to cry
cause I thought recycling
was really something
at the end of the day
sleepily I rinse my bottle
watch the water chug out into the sink
(even thinking about the water I'm saving
rinsing down a grain of rice)
find room for it in the bin
think about order and society
there's so many black holes to take pics of
like this recycling bin that Chloe sniffs
that the girl just threw her noodles in
