Most people who find a little white disk
marked Remove Before Use throw it out,
don't carry it around the apartment
trying to see where it came from
or take it to bed with them singing
"I feel like a motherless child."
The life in garbage is the garbage in life.

The life in garbage is the garbage in life.

Could be an irony in the summing up, could be not.  I keep the packaging for days from box-sets of farm-collective spicy sauces from Africa counting the hands it has gone through, the provenance of the mis-spelt English, the chip on the free ethnic-wooden spoon,...  Quite different I know to the little white disk but I can relate to this and there's a lot of food for thought here.

Thanks for looking, Peter. Trade you. Tom
