Crisp packets
And
Tinnies
Plastic bottles
And
Bags
Gas canisters once filled with an instance of bliss
And
Cigarette filters moistened with morning dew
Shattered glass scattered across your next ten footsteps
And
Disposable lighters filled with the last droplet of flame
Scorch marks burned into an amphitheatre of camp chairs
And
Tent poles twisted into metal spines
Maccies bags
And
Costa cups
Condom wrappers
And
Needles
The same old question asked with hopeful ignorance
The same old answer uttered with increasing uncertainty
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
The next one
