The Bespectacled Man’s Delimma

In front the line of trash bins
Aboard the M/V Wonderful Stars
Stood a bespectacled man
Reading the signs,
Biodegradable…Non-biodegradable,
the labels went.
After a moment of indecision,
He threw the garbage he weighed in his hands
And slammed down the lid.
Clang, blag, blag,
The plastic bottle made enough noise
Inside the biodegradable can.
Straight to his cot, the man walked.
He never looked back.
