The Litter of Our Time The thing about running is There are always things You need to dodge On the sidewalk. Like sometimes it's dead squirrels That have been hit in the road, And I worry when I pass by them I'll step where their blood's dried And carry disease with me to my next destinations. Well, the thing is now When I'm running--the things I find myself dodging most are Various types of PPE-- Masks and gloves discarded on the roadway. I'm not sure how they're left behind.
