How much can I wring out of my
toothpaste tube
before, accordion-like, it collapses?
shaving cream can
before aerosol is all there is?
soap bar
before nothing but lather remains?
paper towel
before it soils rather than cleans?
sneakers
before there're too many holes in their soles?
bluejeans
before all those washings have taken their tolls?
t-shirt
before it begins to lose its sleeves?
procrastinations
before there's no time left for reprieves?

Cool! I like it..
ReplyDeleteI like how you turn all those everyday objects into a poem, with the end line a comment on human nature.
