Sorted into recycling

Please become new things

I don’t know. Don’t you ever just sit around and think about recycling?

That’s the thing about a daily haiku project: the haiku aren’t all good. They aren’t all about big, important, emotional things. Sometimes they’re just about sorting your trash so it doesn’t all end up in a landfill, because that’s where my mind was at today during my writing time.
