hard rubbish collection

there is
out the front
of every house
a public display
a mini-monument
of wastefulness

washers dryers fridges
everything must go
to
waste

and no-one
seems to show
one ounce
of regret
of shame
of embarrassment

yes
we deliver
gleaming white appliances
direct from the shop
to
a hole in the ground

now
it is time
to repair
what we have broken
to share
what we don't need
