when i was 4 years
old
garbage day was an event
i'd rush to the window to
watch muscly men upend
the metal cans in use then
they'd fling the clanging lids
like
frisbees and laugh
i no longer dream of joining
their ranks but i like watching
philly's old school methods--
3 guys working in tandem
hurling bags from a distance
with flair
and art, then a shout:
"move it up!"
…the men in back dreaming
of seniority, the day
when
they'll be the ones up
front
