Used wrapping paper,
plastic cups, faux hair,
cliff hangers, instant coffee,
child-proof caps,
repeated jingles,
static, squelch, dead air.
Oh, every other driver,
cell phones,
snaps, all polka dots,
and pot-holes, power lines,
stringed lights, long cords and cables,
tiny type, those packing pellets,
pop-up windows, signs that flash,
most garnish, all election hype,
those cards that fall from magazines,
stuffed birds,
chewed gum, cheap sandals,
copy ink, frayed ends,
words mispronounced, misquotes
and made-up words,
my friends' ex-lovers,
worse! ex-lover's friends,
all surveys, pet hair,
floral scent shampoo,
rude waiters, shower scum,
cigar smoke,
you.
