the waste is piled
one hundred cups
high
and overflowing
a man in a yellow jacket
with a blue stripe
crossways
pulls on
industrial gloves
reaches in
to push
and poke
and
re-arrange
there has been
a festival
a huge crowd
of coffee-people
take-away empties
and hot-pie
paper bags
so he drags
the overflow
away
to make new room
changes
full and fly
to fresh
and empty
ready
for another day
more coffee cup people
and hot pie
paper bags

Good poem but not so good subject

Very big festival over Easter, Derrick. Many people in town.

Huge crowds are not such a great idea — I hope they were well behaved, masked and distanced!

They were well behaved. We have no community cases and no masking at the moment, so all should be well on that front, I think.
