Protecting the People
He looked like he was homeless,
unkempt, torn and dirty clothing,
his gnarled fingers grasping a plastic
bag filled with beer cans and wine bottles.
He reached for the Budweiser can
perched in the bushes of the garden.
With a satisfied gleam in his eye,
he poured the remaining beer
into the bushes and stashed the
now empty can into his sack.
Twenty years since I’ve found
one of these in this park, someone
here keeps this place clean,
he stated approvingly, gazing at me
as if I had anything to do with it.
Yep, alcohol is a public and personal
health hazard and I’m doin’ my part
to protect the people.
